Structural basis for endotoxin neutralisation and anti-inflammatory activity of thrombin-derived C-terminal peptides

Thrombin-derived C-terminal peptides (TCPs) have anti-endotoxic functions in wounds by binding to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and Gram-negative bacteria. Here authors use a spectrum of biophysical techniques to determine the conformation of a TCP in complex with LPS and define the interaction...
