Abstract

Peptide analogues of human humoral hypercalcemic factor (hHCF) that contain a lactam bridge act as inhibitors of the naturally occurring peptide. A lactam bridge between Lys and Asp situated five residues (inclusive) apart confers rigidity to that region of the peptide, and enhances the helical nature and metabolic stability of the peptide analogue.
