Introduction and Preparation of Peptide

Image
Peptides are short chains of amino acid monomers linked with peptide bonds. The covalent chemical bond is formed when carboxyl group of one amino acid reacts with amino group of other. This is the chemical formation of synthetic peptides which is presently used for biological and therapeutic solutions. Peptides play a crucial role in both biological mechanism and therapeutic solutions for future research in finding cures to numerous diseases. Peptides are central to many researches and therefore a number of pharmaceutical companies are showing renewed interest for therapeutic nature of peptides. A recent study showed that nearly 140 peptides are presently evaluated in clinical trials and more than 500 are in pre-clinical development. A lot of progress is made in the recent times in administration modes to enhance and improve their bioavailability and stability. This progress empowers the potential therapeutic peptides which suggest an increase in production of peptides in the
