Popis: Within the modular protein domains there are five families that recognize proline-rich sequences: SH3, WW, EVH1, GYF and UEV domains. This chapter reviews the main strategies developed for the design of ligands for these families, including peptides, peptidomimetics and drugs. We also describe some studies aimed to understand the molecular reasons responsible for the intrinsic affinity and specificity of these domains.
