Scientists from China have investigated how short peptide chains aggregate together in order to deepen our understanding of the process which is crucial for drug stability and material development.

The Protein and Peptide Science Group (PPSG) is one of the RSC's many Interest Groups. The Interest Groups are member driven groups which exist to benefit RSC members, and the wider chemical science ...

The C-peptide test helps your doctor identify whether you have type 1 diabetes (when the immune system attacks and destroys cells in the pancreas) or type 2 diabetes (when your body doesn't use ...

Bioactive peptides (BAPs) provide therapeutic benefits for inflammation and mitigate side effects. Herein, this review focuses on the therapeutic effects of various BAPs on inflammation in different ...

Looking for ways to increase your hair volume? Peptides, which are short strings of amino acids, may help. Let's find out if you should use peptides for hair growth or not. Peptides, which are small ...

We are pursuing the hypothesis that they arose by fusion and accretion from an ancestral set of peptides active as co-factors in RNA-dependent replication and catalysis. Should this be true, ...

Now, there's a new buzzword in the wellness arena: peptides. But what exactly are peptides, and how can they potentially ...
