Cyclotides and cyclic peptides represent a promising class of bioactive molecules for modern drug design. Their cyclic backbones, often reinforced by disulfide bonds in a cystine knot, confer ...

A relatively simple peptide modification could unlock a whole class of targets for drug discovery, new research shows. Researchers at the University of Birmingham, in collaboration with the ...

In the few years since the introduction of peptide nucleic acid, or PNA (P.E. Ni et al., Science 254:1497-1500, 1991)-a nucleic acid analog with a peptide rather than sugar-phosphate backbone-no less ...
