Abstract
- 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 between TCPs and CD14.
