  1. Proposed minimal active site: Ile-Pro-Gly-Leu-Tyr-Tyr-Phe-Ala
  2. Conservative substitutions allowed (bolded): X-Ile-Pro-Gly-Leu-Tyr-Tyr-Phe-Ala-X
  3. The cytostatic activity of original and modified peptides was evaluated in MCF-7 cells, as described in Methods and was calculated relative to the activity of gAd (baseline). Underlined amino acids indicate the residues where conservative modifications were made. Replaceable residues are marked with * and non-replaceable residues are marked with #. X, non-natural amino acid.
