There is an urgent need to develop new antimicrobial drugs in order to overcome the increasing resistance of pathogens to existing antibiotics. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are an important component of innate immunity in all animal species. These peptides have a wide range of activity against resistant strains of bacteria. Therefore, animal AMPs are an ideal potential source of novel...
What Are Glycopeptides?
Glycopeptides are polypeptides (amino acid molecules) that contain carbohydrates called glycans. Due to the ubiquitous presence of glycans in the cells of all living organisms and the role of glycopeptides in maintaining health and preventing diseases, the field of glycobiology has emerged, focusing on molecular research. The formation of glycopeptides involves...
Peptides, the short chains of amino acids, play a crucial role in various biological functions and have garnered significant attention in recent years across multiple fields, including cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and biotechnology. This article explores different categories of peptides, including peptide inhibitors, cosmetic peptides, functional peptides, and peptide synthesis reagents,...
Peptide Therapy and Its Expanding Role in Veterinary Science
Peptides, composed of short chains of amino acids, are emerging as critical agents in veterinary research due to their highly specific biological functions. These compounds regulate a variety of physiological processes, including immune modulation, tissue repair, hormonal signaling, and metabolic balance. In animal models, specific...
