Peptides, short chains of amino acids linked by peptide bonds, are potent tools in biomedicine and biotechnology. Among their many applications, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have gained prominence for their potential to combat antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
Peptide Synthesis: The Foundation
Peptide synthesis is the cornerstone of peptide-based research and applications. The two...
Peptides, including antimicrobial peptides, can be synthesized through various techniques, primarily chemical synthesis and recombinant DNA technology.
Solid-Phase Peptide Synthesis (SPPS)
Solid-phase peptide Synthesis is the most commonly used method for chemical peptide production. This technique, pioneered by R. Bruce Merrifield, involves the stepwise addition of amino acids to a growing...
In recent years, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have emerged as potent agents with potential applications ranging from therapeutics to diagnostics. Research into their synthesis and their integration into peptide drug conjugates promises to revolutionize modern medicine, offering new solutions in the face of rising antibiotic resistance. This article delves into the world of AMPs, the methods...
