Results from this study1

No result from this study comes from a test of the peptide.

Studies that did not test the peptide alone1

In this study, Pramlintide (Symlin) was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. These results are not evidence about taking Pramlintide (Symlin).

    Summary
    Our results reveal, for this class of molecules, a balance between the reduced amyloidogenicity of the inhibitory sequence on one hand and its ability to recognize hIAPP on the other.
    1 context sentence
    Summary · context
    Here we examine and compare the ability of rIAPP, PM, and a set of designed analogues of hIAPP to inhibit amyloid formation by hIAPP, to elucidate the factors that lead to effective peptide-based inhibitors.
