title: fMLP-OMe analogs substituted at the methionine residue: an insight into the receptor properties.
abstract: In order to obtain an insight into the mode of binding at the for-Met-Leu-Phe-OH (fMLP) receptor, three fMLP-OMe analogs (1-3) were synthesized in which the Met residue was substituted by Gln 1, Asn 2, and Ser 3. We evaluated the influence of the charge variation and/or the shift of its position on neutrophil biological responses.
