Patent ID: 7507790

Claim:
A fibre-shaping peptide comprising: (i) a polypeptide according to SEQ ID NO: 3 with a first and optionally a second peptide monomer unit according to SEQ ID NO: 9 attached to the lysine residue shown at position 17 of SEQ ID NO: 3, wherein the first peptide monomer unit is attached via an amide bond to epsilon amino group of the lysine residue, and the optional second peptide monomer unit is attached to the lysine residue via carboxyl group of the lysine residue; or (ii) a polypeptide according to SEQ ID NO: 5 with a first and optionally a second peptide monomer unit according to SEQ ID NO: 10 attached to the glutamic acid residue shown at position 1 of SEQ ID NO: 5, wherein said first peptide monomer unit is attached to the glutamic acid residue via an amide bond to a carboxylic acid group of the glutamic acid residue, and the optional second peptide monomer unit is attached via an amide bond to amino group of said glutamic acid residue.
