In silico structure-based design of a potent and selective small peptide inhibitor of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B, a novel therapeutic target for obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus: a computer modeling approach.
Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) has been shown to be a negative regulator of insulin signaling by dephosphorylating key tyrosine residues within the regulatory domain of the beta-subunit of the insulin receptor. Recent gene knockout studies in mic.....
