At its center are peptides, short chains of amino acids that serve as the building blocks of proteins but have distinct therapeutic properties of their own. These versatile compounds occupy a ...

The research group utilized artificial intelligence to sift through various prohormones — molecules that can be transformed into active peptides, or hormones, that regulate body functions.

Peptide-drug conjugates (PDCs) represent an emerging class of targeted therapeutic agents that consist of small molecular drugs coupled to multifunctional peptides through cleavable or non-cleavable ...

After earmarking a major chunk of change last year to bulk up in peptide production, European CDMO CordenPharma is putting its money where its mouth is. CordenPharma will spend half of a planned ...

T cells constantly survey the body for signs of infection or malignancy through the recognition of fragments of antigens (peptides) complexed to molecules of the major histocompatibility complex.

Given the vast sequence space, a combination of computational approaches and readily accessible experimental techniques is required to design peptide materials efficiently. We report here on a ...

This highlights the urgent need for novel and highly effective antimicrobial agents. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a class of naturally occurring or synthetically designed small molecules that ...

One alternative that doctors recommend is peptides. Not only are they generally gentle, but they can offer a wide variety of benefits for skin. Depending on the type of peptide(s) in your skin ...
