De novo peptide grafting to a self-assembling nanocapsule yields a hepatocyte growth factor receptor agonist

Summary: Lasso-grafting (LG) technology is a method for generating de novo biologics (neobiologics) by genetically implanting macrocyclic peptide pharmacophores, which are selected in vitro against a protein of interest, into loops of arbitrary protein scaffolds. In this study, we have generated a n...
