Words similar to non-peptide

Example sentences for: non-peptide

How can you use “non-peptide” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

Two families of small peptides binding to the human thrombopoietin receptor (TPOR) were isolated that competed with the natural ligand TPO [ 34 ] . The peptide with the highest affinity was subsequently dimerized and shown to function as a potent TPO agonist in vivo . Recently, a small, non-peptide organic molecule binding to one chain of the EPO receptor was multimerized and shown to mimic the biological activities of the EPO [ 35 ] .
All ligands used (Table 1) were non-peptide ligands selected for lack of selectivity for different opioid receptors.
One involved identification of a non-peptide activator of the granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (GCSF) pathway that appeared to act via receptor oligomerization [ 18 ] . Another report described a small-molecule activator of the insulin-signaling pathway that also acts at the level of the receptor [ 19 ] .
Thus, small molecules such as chemokines, peptides or non-peptide organic compounds that previously would be prohibitively expensive to study can now be studied.
