Cyclopamine attenuates acute warm ischemia reperfusion injury in cholestatic rat liver: hope for marginal livers.

abstract：:Interactions of a lyophilized peptide with water and excipients in a solid matrix were explored using photolytic labeling. A model peptide "KLQ" (Ac-QELHKLQ-NHCH3) was covalently labeled with NHS-diazirine (succinimidyl 4,4'-azipentanoate), and the labeled peptide (KLQ-SDA) was formulated and exposed to UV light in bo...
