Methods and compositions using E-selectin antagonists are provided for the treatment and prevention of diseases and disorders treatable by inhibiting binding of E-selectin to an E-selectin ligand. Described herein are E-selectin antagonists including, for example, glycomimetic compounds, antibodies, aptamers and peptides that are useful in methods for treatment of cancers, and treatment and prevention of metastasis, inhibiting infiltration of the cancer cells into bone marrow, reducing or inhibiting adhesion of the cancer cells to endothelial cells including cells in bone marrow, and inhibiting thrombus formation.

E-selectin antagonist compounds, compositions, and methods of use

Methods and compositions using E-selectin antagonists are provided for the treatment and prevention of diseases and disorders treatable by inhibiting binding of E-selectin to an E-selectin ligand. Described herein are E-selection antagonists including, for example, glycomimetic compounds, antibodies, aptamers and peptides that are useful in methods for treatment of cancers, and treatment and prevention of metastasis, inhibiting infiltration of the cancer cells into bone marrow, reducing or inhibiting adhesion of the cancer cells to endothelial cells including cells in bone marrow, and inhibiting thrombus formation.

The invention is concerned with determining the three-dimensional structure of biological macromolecules such as proteins. In particular, it is concerned with methods for rapidly determining protein structure by NMR, by providing methods for simplifying NMR spectra using labeled proteins prepared from specifically isotopically labeled amino acids having at least two isotopes of 13C, 15N and 2H in the backbone, and methods for making these labeled proteins, e.g., by cultivation of a microbial culture containing said labeled amino acids.

13C, 15N, 2H labeled proteins for NMR structure determinations and their preparation

13C,15N ,2H labeled proteins for NMR structure determinations and their preparation

Peptidic molecules suitable for three dimensional NMR structure determination are provided which have been substituted with .sup.13 C and/or .sup.15 N in the backbone and/or at the .alpha.-carbon with .sup.2 H but not otherwise in the sidechains of the amino acid residues. One or more amino acids, amino acid species or substantially all of the amino acid residues of the molecule may be so substituted. A method of making the substituted peptidic molecules substituted in this manner is provided.
