Peptidomimetic design

Curr Opin Chem Biol. 1998 Aug;2(4):441-52. doi: 10.1016/s1367-5931(98)80119-1.

Abstract

Major discoveries have been made of new type-I and type-III peptidomimetic inhibitors of peptide-derived systems. Innovative reversible inhibitors of cysteine proteases and renin, and additional examples of peptidomimetic inhibitors of interleukin-1 beta-converting enzyme, neutral endopeptidase, herpes simplex virus protease, thrombin, HIV protease, Ras farnesyltransferase, the RGD motif, Factor Xa and various aspartic proteases have been discovered.
