Table 1. Peptide Sequences Studied in This Articlea.
All sequences are N-terminally acetylated and C-terminally amidated. (A) Dentonin, a MEPE mimic, is highlighted in green in the sequence of the main therapeutic candidate, SLd. (B) SLdmod is a control sequence with similar polarity to SLd but contains an altered primary sequence (changed amino acids shown in red). (C) Both peptides are based on the sequence of SL-base, which has a sequence similar to a previously characterized self-assembling peptide.12−14
