Abbreviations: MW=molecular weight; rBA=relative binding affinity.

a

The given numbers indicate the position of the peptide in the amino acid sequence of SOX2.

b

Number of amino acids.

c

The relative binding affinities were determined by comparing the inhibition of the reporter peptide binding by the analysed peptides in relation to the inhibition obtained with a positive control peptide, which was set as 100%. The positive control peptide was YLLPAIVHI from RNA helicase p72 and the reporter peptide was ILK(FITC)EPVHGV from HIV-1 reverse transcriptase. All peptides were used at a concentration of 10 μM.
