The world is in the middle of a peptide drug revolution. These short chains of amino acids—the building blocks of ...

Producing the drugs is a dirty process ...

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 ...

For decades, a substantial number of proteins, vital for treating various diseases, have remained elusive to oral drug therapy. Traditional small molecules often struggle to bind to proteins with flat ...

(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 ...

Scientists have developed stable orally available cyclic peptides with a much higher bioavailability than current ones, virtually creating a generation of drugs that can target previously untreatable ...

The peptide synthesis market is expanding due to growing demand for peptide-based therapeutics, driven by superior target specificity and lower toxicity. Innovations like microwave-assisted SPPS ...
