About the Laboratory

Established in 2001.
Personnel: 13 researches including 1 D.Sc. and 4 Ph.D.


Research directions

  • Fundamental and applied research in the fields of bioorganic chemistry, biochemistry and molecular biology of peptide compounds, study of structure and function of low molecular weight bioregulators of peptide nature
  • Development of methods for chemical synthesis of biologically active peptide compounds, possessing antithrombotic, antiaggregatory, immunobiological activity, etc.
  • Creating a theoretical basis and software for modeling the structure of proteins and peptides. Quantum chemical modeling of peptide elicitor molecules and their analogs in order to find compounds with elicitor activity
  • Development and production of hemosorbents for application in efferent medicine.

Main achievements and developments

  • Development and approbation of new simulation method for protein molecule surface for binding site structure determination. A series of synthesized peptides which were predicted on the basis of computer modeling the binding sites of regulatory proteins (protein A, TNF-alpha receptor, apolipoproteins) proved to have properties of functional analogs of these proteins
  • Synthesis of tripeptide Arg-Gly-Asp analogs possessing an antiaggregative activity
  • Synthesis of new caspase  substrates and inhibitors which can be used for monitoring and regulation of apoptose
  • Synthesis of oligopeptide analogs of vasopressin and oxytocine with nootropic and antidepressant activity.
  • Development, production and introduction into clinical   practice   of   hemosorbents   Hemo-Proteazsorb, Anti-IgE-Hemo, LPS-Hemo, Antilipoproteid, Nucleosorb for use in efferent medicine
  • Creation of an original learning and memory stimulator based on tetra-peptide (in co-operation with RUPE "Belmedpreparaty").
