Yamada Group

Researchers in the Yamada Group at Tokyo University of Pharmacy and Life Sciences, published in Biochemistry, have systematically characterized LDV-derived peptides as cell-adhesive molecules …

Ribosomal Bicycles

Ribosomal Bicycles

Suga Lab

Bicyclic peptides occupy a sweet spot in drug discovery. Their constrained architectures resist proteolytic degradation and bind targets with antibody-like specificity, yet they remain small …

Photoclick Bicycles

Photoclick Bicycles

Lei Lab

Bicyclic peptides offer exceptional promise for targeting protein-protein interactions, combining the conformational rigidity needed for high-affinity binding with improved metabolic stability. Yet their construction remains …

Ultrafast Peptide Cyclization

Ultrafast Peptide Cyclization

Sun Lab

Cyclic peptides occupy a privileged niche in chemical biology. Their constrained conformations reduce entropic penalties upon binding, impart proteolytic stability, and frequently enable access to …

Craik Lab

This comprehensive review from the labs of David Craik and Lara Malins at Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Innovations in Peptide and Protein …

Enlicitide Decanoate

Enlicitide Decanoate

Thaisrivongs Lab

The total synthesis and process development of enlicitide decanoate, MK-0616, an orally bioavailable inhibitor of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9, PCSK9, represents a major breakthrough …

Selective Cyclization

Selective Cyclization

Liu Lab

To address the limitations of current methods for peptide macrocyclization, which often rely on nonspecific small-molecule linkers...
