Ozempic has been making headlines for its remarkable success in treating obesity and diabetes. Yet it is just one in a rapidly growing class of drugs called peptide therapeutics that sits between ...

Recent advances in synthetic polypeptide and polymer chemistry have transformed the landscape of biomaterials by combining the precision of organic synthesis with the versatile functionalities of ...

Lots of people are talking about peptides. But what are they? Here’s a quick primer on the health trend and what we know about peptides’ safety.

Aza-peptides, peptide analogues in which one or more α-carbon atoms are replaced by nitrogen atoms, represent a promising class of compounds in therapeutic development. This structural modification ...

Animals such as spiders make fibers which are strong and elastic. These fibers have a polypeptide structure and serve as inspiration for research into the development of functional materials.

A major problem in solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) is aggregation and poor solvation leading to incomplete deprotection and/or coupling steps, resulting in low crude purity peptides. 1 This ...

Few drugs have entered mainstream awareness as quickly or as dramatically as glucagon-like peptide-1, or GLP-1 receptor agonists. Initially approved by the FDA for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, ...

Fibrous structures act as load-bearing components in vivo in many natural proteins besides enzymes, which are soluble globular molecules. Natural evolutionary processes have produced structural ...
