Single-chain tandem macrocyclic peptides as a scaffold for growth factor and cytokine mimetics

Peptides composed of two or more tandemly linked macrocyclic peptides binding to growth factor/cytokine receptors (STaMPtides) are useful growth factor/cytokine mimetics. The peptides can be produced from bacterial cells and bioactivity is demonstrated (HGF, EPO, TPO).
