Abstract

L-arginine is a source of nitrogen oxide and plays a great role in a number of other biochemical processes. Functions and prospects for practical application of five groups of arginine-containing amino acid sequences and synthetic polyarginine sequences are considered. The physiological characteristics of well-known arginine-containing peptides, such as RGD peptides, kyotorphin, and tuftsin, are described in detail.
