Nesiritide
also known as BNP, B-type natriuretic peptide
Skeletal structure drawn from the computed atomic coordinates in PubChem CID 71308561. Carbons are implicit vertices; hydrogens on carbon are suppressed, as in any structural formula. Nothing here is estimated — every atom sits where PubChem placed it.
Research reference only. The observations below are recorded in the cited literature. Nothing here is advice or a recommendation, and no dosing information is published on this site.

Modified molecule. Disulfide-bridged ring, as in the natriuretic peptide family.
Backbone carries modifications, so computed backbone mass is not comparable to the reported mass of the complete molecule.

Experimental structure
No experimental structure of this peptide is deposited in the PDB. Nothing is rendered here — a predicted fold would not be a structure, and this site does not draw one.
Position in the parent protein
…SREVATEGIRGHRKMVLYTLRAPRSPKMVQGSGCFGRKMDRISSSSGLGCKVLRRHParent sequence from UniProt P16860. Cleaved from the BNP precursor.
