Molecular Determinants in the Delta Selectivity of Deltorphins,

Abstract

The deltorphins were discovered in frog skin by their cDNA sequences and the isolated natural peptides contained D-amino acid enantiomer at position 2. Recognition of high delta affinities and delta selectivities of these peptides led to the examination of the molecular determinants required for interaction with opioid receptors.
