Peptides are short chains of amino acids linked by peptide bonds, typically consisting of 2 to 50 amino acids. They play critical roles in various biological processes. For example, many hormones, ...

Synthetic polypeptide and polymer chemistry has transformed biomaterials research by marrying the precision of organic synthesis with the complex functionalities of natural proteins. Typically ...

To ensure that protein production in our cells runs smoothly, the protein complex NAC slows down the rate of protein synthesis right at the start. An international research team with significant ...

Peptides are everywhere; they’re unavoidable. Insulin is a peptide. So are GLP-1s—the Ozempics and Mounjaros of the world. There are enough peptide-fortified creams and lip balms to fill the Sephora ...

Just as children can strengthen ties between parents, ensuring the family stays together at least until they’re grown, a new study shows nascent polypeptide chains have the inherent ability to ensure ...
