title: Selective formation of homo- and heterobivalent peptidomimetics.
abstract: Methodology is presented for assembling fluorescently labeled bivalent molecules from monovalent constituents, without side chain protection or coupling agents. To illustrate the procedure, a series of bivalent peptidomimetics directed toward the Trk receptors were prepared and screened via fluorescent activated cell sorting scan assays.
