## Abstract Insect neuropeptides of the insect kinin class share a common Cβterminal pentapeptide sequence F^1^X~1~^2^X~2~^3^W^4^G^5^βNH~2~ (X~2~^3^ = P, S, A) and regulate such critical physiological processes as water balance and digestive enzyme release. Analogs of the insect kinin class, in whi
Peptide vaccines based on the use of MHC class I restricted epitopes are currently assayed for anti-tumor and anti-viral immunotherapy. With the aim of designing minimally modified, peptidase-resistant analogs, we developed a rational approach based on a detailed understanding of the degradation mec
