Three Distinct d-Amino Acid Substitutions Confer Potent Antiangiogenic Activity on an Inactive Peptide Derived from a Thrombospondin-1 Type 1 Repeat

Mal II, a 19-residue peptide derived from the second type 1 properdin-like repeat of the antiangiogenic protein thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1), was inactive in angiogenesis assays. Yet the substitution of any one of three l -amino acids by their d -enantiomers conferred on this peptide a potent antiangiog...
