Abstract: The disclosed invention relates to methods of modifying peptide compositions to increase stability and delivery efficiency. Specifically, the disclosed invention relates to methods to increase the stability and delivery efficiency of protein kinase C (PKC) modulatory peptide compositions. A "therapeutic peptide composition" comprises a "carrier peptide" and a "cargo peptide." A "carrier peptide" is a peptide or amino acid sequence within a peptide that facilitates the cellular uptake of the therapeutic peptide composition. The "cargo peptide" is a PKC modulatory peptide. Peptide modifications to either the carrier peptide, the cargo peptide, or both, which are described herein increase the stability and delivery efficiency of therapeutic peptide compositions by reducing disulfide bond exchange, physical stability, reducing proteolytic degradation, and increasing efficiency of cellular uptake.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne une approche de gestion de nouvelle clé, prévue pour sécuriser les transferts de communication entre un terminal d'accès et deux points d'accès. Tandis qu'un terminal d'accès se déplace d'un point d'accès actuel à un nouveau point d'accès, le terminal d'accès envoie une courte requête de transfert au nouveau point d'accès. La courte requête de transfert peut inclure l'ID du terminal d'accès ; elle ne comprend pas l'ID du point d'accès. Le nouveau point d'accès peut ensuite envoyer son identifiant et l'identifiant du terminal d'accès à l'authentificateur. En utilisant une clé transitoire principale, précédemment générée, l'identifiant du point d'accès et l'identifiant du terminal d'accès, un authentificateur peut générer une clé de session principale. La clé de session principale peut ensuite être envoyée au point d'accès par l'authentificateur. Le terminal d'accès génère indépendamment la même nouvelle clé de sécurité avec laquelle il peut communiquer en toute sécurité avec le nouveau point d'accès.
