Read the article →Angiotensin II: molecular identity and research context
Place the eight-residue angiotensin II reference within its processing network and distinguish endogenous-ligand evidence from modified receptor agonists.
Read the article →Bradykinin: molecular identity and research context
Distinguish bradykinin, kallidin and their terminally shortened forms before interpreting kinin-receptor experiments.
Read the article →Substance P: molecular identity and research context

Read the article →CGRP: molecular forms and research context
Separate alpha- and beta-CGRP, the calcitonin relationship and the receptor complex before comparing research findings.
Read the article →Alpha-MSH: molecular identity and research context
Read the endogenous alpha-MSH sequence, terminal modifications and receptor context without treating synthetic melanocortin analogues as the same molecule.
Read the article →GLP-1: molecular forms and research context
Distinguish the endogenous GLP-1 forms, their numbering and physiological evidence from the broader category of GLP-1 receptor agonists.
Read the article →GIP: molecular identity and research context
