Synthetic Amino Acid can Lead to Development of More Effective Drugs With Minimal Side Effects

A synthetic amino acid that can enhance the potency of drugs by impacting the 3D structure of bioactive peptides has been developed by researchers at EPFL, a new study published in the journal Nature Chemistry reveals. strongPeptides and proteins as drugs /strongMany of the drugs we use today are essentially naturally-occurring peptides (small) and proteins (large), both of which are made up with the amino acids found in all living organisms. Despite ...
