Using the ribosome to synthesize peptidomimetics

Peptidomimetic research is an approach to identify peptide-based drugs designed to mimic structural, conformational, and biological properties of peptides while overcoming their limitations, such as protease instability and poor cell penetration. With recent advances in ribosomal synthesis of peptid...

Sumario:Peptidomimetic research is an approach to identify peptide-based drugs designed to mimic structural, conformational, and biological properties of peptides while overcoming their limitations, such as protease instability and poor cell penetration. With recent advances in ribosomal synthesis of peptides containing unnatural amino acids, this technology appears suitable for preparing large structurally diverse libraries of peptidomimetics for drug discovery screening.
