Identification of a peptide inhibitor disrupting the PCSK9-LDLR interaction via pharmacophore-based virtual screening, molecular dynamics simulations and in vitro/vivo evaluation
{{output}}
The PCSK9-LDLR interaction, driving elevated LDL-C, is a key driver of ASCVD pathogenesis. Identifying peptides disrupting this interaction offers an alternative ASCVD therapy. Herein, via structure-based virtual screening with Pep2-8 as a control, we identifi... ...
