Peptides is a monthly peer-reviewed scientific journal covering the biochemistry, neurochemistry, pharmacology, and biological functions of peptides. It was established in 1980 and is published by Elsevier. The editor-in-chief is Karl-Heinz Herzig (University of Oulu).
The Journal of Peptide Science is abstracted and indexed by Chemical Abstracts Service, MEDLINE/PubMed, Scopus, and the Science Citation Index.According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2021impact factor of 2.408, ranking it 66th out of 87 journals in the category "Chemistry Analytical" [1] and 255th out of 297 journals in the category "Biochemistry & Molecular Biology".
Gastric Pentadecapeptide BPC-157 (also known as PL 14736, Body Protection Compound 157, or Bepecin) is a fifteen amino acid long oligopeptide that was discovered during research on human gastric juice. [1]
Richard A. Houghten is a heterocyclic organic chemist and founder of the journal Peptide Research, which was later merged with the International Journal of Peptide and Protein Research, to become the Journal of Peptide Research. His work mainly concerns peptide activity and pharmacology. [1]
A peptide microarray is a planar slide with peptides spotted onto it or assembled directly on the surface by in-situ synthesis. Whereas peptides spotted can undergo quality controls that include mass spectrometer analysis and concentration normalization before spotting and result from a single synthetic batch, peptides synthesized directly on the surface may suffer from batch-to-batch ...
This peptide consists of a core peptide segment which is typically preceded (and occasionally followed) by a leader peptide segment and is typically ~20-110 residues long. The leader peptide is usually important for enabling enzymatic processing of the precursor peptide via aiding in recognition of the core peptide by biosynthetic enzymes and ...
Peptide therapeutics are peptides or polypeptides (oligomers or short polymers of amino acids) which are used to for the treatment of diseases. Naturally occurring peptides may serve as hormones , growth factors , neurotransmitters , ion channel ligands , and anti-infectives ; peptide therapeutics mimic such functions.
There are numerous types of peptides that have been classified according to their sources and functions. According to the Handbook of Biologically Active Peptides, some groups of peptides include plant peptides, bacterial/antibiotic peptides, fungal peptides, invertebrate peptides, amphibian/skin peptides, venom peptides, cancer/anticancer peptides, vaccine peptides, immune/inflammatory ...
