Overview
A peptide sequence is the defined order of amino acid residues within a peptide, the linear arrangement that determines its structure, chemical behavior, and biological function. The journal Peptides publishes peer-reviewed, open-access research on the synthesis, analysis, and application of Peptides and related molecules. Reported work includes peptide synthesis in aqueous solution using a reusable solid phase, novel methods for inhibiting amyloidogenesis using Peptides designed to block hydrophobic interactions, and molecular analysis of the 6-pyruvoyltetrahydropterin synthase gene in atypical phenylketonuric patients. These studies span synthetic methodology, the relationship between peptide composition and aggregation behavior, and molecular characterization relevant to protein and enzyme function. Collectively they reflect the journal's emphasis on how amino acid composition and arrangement govern peptide chemistry and biological activity. Readers interested in peptide synthesis, sequence-dependent aggregation, structure-function relationships, and molecular characterization will find peer-reviewed, open-access studies relevant to peptide sequence.
