Unique EPOR binding properties of Pegmolesatide. A The sequence and structure of Pegmolesatide. B The EPOR (EC domain, Ig Fc fusion) was immobilized on Biacore chips at 900 RU density. Ligands were then introduced and for the time courses shown, binding was assayed. The peptide dimer refers to the non-PEGylated Pegmolesatide. C Competitive displacement IC50 of Pegmolesatide and ESPO 3000 by EPO. Gradient concentrations of Pegmolesatide and ESPO 3000 were incubated with 2 nM EPOR at 4 ℃ for 18 h; then, each concentration mixture was flowed through the EPO chip. The response value of EPOR binding to EPO was obtained. A nonlinear regression model was used to draw a sigmoid dose-inhibition curve and calculate the IC50 value
