To enhance the targeting of HCC tissue and reduce the systemic toxicity of cheotmherapy drugs, we found that SP94 (SFSIIHTPILPL), a novel peptide identified by Lo et al
Proteins are long and complex structures, while peptides are smaller and are made up of 2-50 amino acids that are linked together via peptide bonds
Furthermore, in ECL1 of GCGR there are two glycine residues (G207 ECL1 , G219 ECL1 ) that disconnect the helical structure in the active state, whereas the G219 ECL1 is not conserved in GLP-1R and the helical conformation is relatively intact in this region of GLP-1R
