Herewith, we report for the first time the crystal structure of tetrapeptide FwKT (Phe-D-Trp-Lys-Thr), which is considered to represent an epitope for biomedically relevant hormone somatostatin. The target molecule was successfully crystalized, solved and refined as a conjugate of the tetrapeptide moiety bearing a protective group DOTA at the N-terminus and methylated at the O-terminus. The combination of a hormone active site and a powerful chelator make the substance a highly prospective targeted drug delivery system, especially for peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) applications.
