More Potent, Less Product Needed Maximizes effectiveness while reducing waste
This includes using peptides directly as drugs (e.g., as angiogenesis inhibitors), tumor targeting agents that carry cytotoxic drugs and radionuclides (targeted chemotherapy and radiation therapy), hormones, and vaccines
cDNA cloning showed the dermorphin precursor encodes an L-alanine codon at the position where D-alanine appears in the mature peptide, revealing a post-translational L-to-D conversion
Peptides are short chains of amino acidsthe same building blocks that make up proteins
