Figure 26. N/OFQ-Derived Glycopeptides.
Glycopeptides related to the N/OFQ peptide were studied for the antinociceptive properties in vivo. The analogues containing a carbohydrate closer to the C-terminus exhibited similar binding and functional activity to native N/OFQ, whereas glycopeptides with a carbohydrate closer to the N-terminus showed reductions in biological activity.
