WHAT ARE PEPTIDES? Peptides are macro molecules that contain amino acid monomers linked together by peptide (amide) bonds. The covalent bonds are formed when the carboxyl group of one amino acid reacts with the amino group of another. Peptides are… Read More ›
Synthetic peptides are versatile tools to help develop vaccines against new Influenza A viral strains Pools or libraries of synthetic peptides derived from Influenza A viral proteins can be used to screen for and identify human leukocyte class I (HLA-I)… Read More ›
Peptide mimics useful for the modulation of protein and receptor signaling and subsequent gene expression By Klaus D. Linse Synthetic peptides that specifically bind to proteins such as cytokines, protein hormones, and nuclear hormone receptors offer an alternative approach to… Read More ›
By Klaus D. Linse Can synthetic peptides be used for the development of vaccines against cancer cells? Many medical scientists think the answer is yes. In a study published by Schwartzentruber et al. in the “New England Journal of… Read More ›
By Klaus D. Linse Wouldn’t it be cool to have a vaccine available to prevent infection by the HIV virus? Many research groups are feverishly working to devise a vaccine against the AIDS virus. But is this really achievable in… Read More ›
