[0037] Example 1 Design and Synthesis of Five Denatured All-Configuration Cyclic Citrulline Polypeptides
[0038]Five specially designed denatured allosteric cyclic citrulline polypeptides are derived from the evolution between arginine and citrulline and their cyclization intermediates. Like lysine (Lysine, Lys or K) and histidine (Histidine, Hisor H), arginine (Arginine, Arg or R) is a basic amino acid, and is one of the 20 essential amino acids in the human body. It is one of the indispensable raw materials in normal protein synthesis and catabolism. However, citrulline is not an essential amino acid for human metabolism. It is a derivative of arginine that is deaminated after denaturation and allostery. figure 1 As shown, arginine undergoes deamination under the action of arginine peptide deiminase (PAD=peptidglarginine deiminase), water molecules and calcium ions and releases hydrogen ions to form citrulline (Citrulline or Cit). Arginine peptide deiminase (PAD) in the p...

[0040] Example 2 Sequence and physicochemical properties of five denatured allosteric cyclic citrullinated polypeptides
[0041] According to the biological and biochemical principles described above and the basis of the clinical self-antigen of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), the cyclic citrulline sequence of the arginine derivative protein polypeptide, its cyclic structure and the physicochemical properties of the protein polypeptide are also used in clinical trials. Using CCP and other polypeptide molecules as reference, the denaturation and allosteric design was carried out again, and a new group of five denatured allosteric cyclic citrulline polypeptides were synthesized, and the sequence polypeptides were named CCP5a~e (eg CCP5a~e). Figure 4 shown).
[0042] Figure 4 It is the amino acid sequence of five CCP5a~e polypeptides coupled with BSA protein, wherein BSA is bovine serum albumin; citrulline (Cit) is a derivative from arginine (R) metabolism; citrulline (Cit) The bo...

[0049] Example 3 Comparison of characteristics and antigen-antibody characteristics of five CCP5a~e denatured and modified cyclic citrullinated polypeptides
[0050] The biological characteristics of the five CCP5a~e denatured allosteric cyclic citrulline polypeptides are polypeptides according to the mutual cyclization properties between arginine and citrulline or between citrulline and citrulline in the synthesis of amino acid polypeptides . This principle is like the cyclization of two sparse bonds (-S-S-) between cysteines by denaturing two serines into cysteines in the CCP polypeptide sequence. CCP5a~e have one or more structurally cyclized polypeptides. Although these cyclic polypeptides are hypothetical and artificially synthesized, and in order to mimic the denaturing and allosteric properties of some protein polypeptides of self-antigens in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patient serum, the cyclization of CCP5a~e is also enhanced. The autoimmunogenicity of RA autoantigens...
