Chemical synthesis and peptide ligation techniques have revolutionised the field of protein engineering by enabling the precise construction of peptides and proteins with tailored modifications. These ...

Nature makes amide bonds—the key linkages that string together amino acids in a polypeptide—like a knitting whiz. The ribosome in Escherichia coli bacteria, for example, can make eight amide bonds in ...

Chemists created a gold-catalyzed method to make non-natural amino acids ready for peptide synthesis, expanding drug design options beyond 22 natural types. (Nanowerk News) Ozempic has been making ...

From legacy therapeutics to next-generation GLP-1s, advances in synthesis, analysis, and regulation are reshaping how peptide ...

There has been a recent revival in interest in peptide therapeutic development, with five of the top-selling drugs being peptides or proteins (Enbrel, Remicade, Humira, Avastin, MabThera) and many ...

Scientists at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) have addressed a long-standing challenge in the pharmaceutical industry, with the development of a two-step, one-pot method for ...

(Nanowerk News) Peptides are short strands of amino acids that are increasingly used therapeutically, as biomaterials and as chemical and biological probes. The capacity to isolate, manipulate and ...

Peptides like insulin and the now-ubiquitous GLP-1 drugs have become some of the most influential molecules in modern ...

Influencers and athletes are among those claiming substances can help with injury repair, weight loss and angi-ageing ...
