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 ...

Peptides, as essential biomolecules linking amino acids and proteins, play a vital role across numerous disciplines, including life science research, drug discovery, biomaterials engineering, and ...

An illustration showing how the nascent polypeptide-associated complex (NAC, green) at the ribosome (blue) helps the amino acid chain (white) to fold into a protein. In the earliest phase of creating ...
