title: [Application prospects of structure-function studies of gonadotropins].
abstract: The study of the respective roles of the polypeptide and oligosaccharide parts of gonadotropins in their biological activities has been undertaken for many years through chemical and enzymatic modifications of natural hormones, expression of wild-type and mutated recombinant hormones and synthesis of active peptides. The present paper proposes a short summary of the future application prospects of these studies as undertaken in our laboratory.
