The present invention relates to novel peptide ligands for prostate
specific antigen (PSA) binding specifically with it and enhancing its
enzyme activity, to a process for preparation of these peptides, to
diagnostic and pharmaceutical compositions comprising these peptides, to
the use of these peptides for pharmaceutical and research preparations,
to methods using these peptides in diagnostic assays for determination of
the concentrations of various molecular forms of PSA, to methods for
modulating the PSA enzyme activity and PSA activity dependent conditions
by using these peptides either in vivo or in vitro and to the use of
these peptides in procedures for biochemical isolation and purification
of PSA.
