JPT is a key player in the world of peptides. They create special tools like peptide microarrays that help map out immune responses. They also offer services that speed up the creation of new ...

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 ...

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 ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 51, No. 6 (Jun. 15, 1964), pp. 1291-1299 (9 pages) ...

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 new promising class of therapeutics could replace vancomycin and combat MRSA, report scientists at conclusion of a new study. A research team of chemists at the University of Amsterdam's Van 't Hoff ...
