Structure and activity of host-defence peptides from Australian anurans: anticancer agents, neuropeptides and nNOS inhibitors.

我们已经发现了可能具有临床应用的多肽。这一点很重要，因为这些分子可能具有以下一种或多种性质。它们可能具有抗癌作用；它们可能通过促进淋巴细胞形成来提高免疫系统的有效性；它们可能通过控制一氧化氮的形成来减少炎症、中风或心脏疾病。国家的另一个好处是，参与该项目的人员接受了在多肽化学/质谱学/核磁共振方面的最高国际标准的培训：目前，这一领域没有足够训练有素的科学家来满足需求。

We have discovered peptides that may have clinical applications. This is significant as these molecules may have one or more of the following properties. They may have anti-cancer effects; they may increase the effectiveness of the immune system by enhancing lymphocyte formation; and, they may act to reduce inflammation, stroke or cardiac conditions by controlling nitric oxide formation. Another national benefit is that personnel involved in this project are trained to the highest international standards in peptide chemistry/mass spectrometry/nuclear magnetic resonance: currently, there are not enough trained scientists in this area to meet demand.
