Cell death pathology: perspective for human diseases.

abstract：:Designed peptides that would selectively interact with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or endotoxin and fold into specific conformations could serve as important scaffolds toward the development of antisepsis compounds. Here, we describe solution structure of a designed amphipathic peptide, H(2)N-YVKLWRMIKFIR-CONH(2) (YW12D)...
