This invention relates to novel compositions comprising analogs of naturally occurring polypeptides, wherein the analog comprises an -amino acid and at least one -amino acid. Administration of the compositions may be used for effecting treatment or prevention of a plurality of disease states caused by dysfunctional biochemical or biological pathways. The compositions and methods of this invention are particularly useful to identify novel therapeutic modulators of in-vivo receptor activity with extended half-lives and relevant bioactivity as compared to the naturally translated polypeptides upon which the analogs are derived.

The present invention relates to compositions comprising glucose regulating peptides linked to extended recombinant polypeptide (XTEN), isolated nucleic acids encoding the compositions and vectors and host cells containing the same, and methods of making and using such compositions in treatment of glucose regulating peptide-related diseases, disorders, and conditions.

This disclosure relates to a method of generating conditionally active biologic proteins from wild type proteins, in particular therapeutic proteins, which are reversibly or irreversibly inactivated at the wild type normal physiological conditions. For example, evolved proteins are virtually inactive at body temperature, but are active at lower temperatures.

The present invention relates to trigonal GLP-1/glucagon/GIP receptor agonists and their medical use, for example in the treatment of disorders of the metabolic syndrome, including diabetes and obesity, as well as for reduction of excess food intake.

The present invention relates to Enterokinase-cleavable polypeptides comprising an Enterokinase cleavage site connected to a polypeptide and their use for making the target polypeptide by expression. The invention also relates to DNA sequences, vectors and host cells for use in expressing the Enterokinase-cleavable polypeptides.

Methods of generating fusion protein variants are provided that comprise introducing sequence diversity at the junction region or regions in the fusion and allows for the generation of variants having a desired activity. Examples include immunoglobulins comprising a domain or polypeptide inserted into, or replacing, a CDR. Also provided are polynucleotides encoding a fusion protein and comprising two or more RSSs, and compositions and host cells comprising same, as well as fusion proteins variants produced by the described methods.
