- Structural biology, computational chemistry
1. Cyclic structure
2. Amino-terminal methylation
3. Introduction of non-natural or D‑configured amino acids
4. Fatty acidylation, PEGylation, and fusion proteins
5. Optimization of drug delivery systems: liposomes, nanoparticles, microspheres, etc.
There is a scarcity of sources for peptide-based bioactive molecules.
1. Endogenous peptides/natural bioactive peptides
2. Chemically Synthesized Peptides
3. Phage-display peptide library/mRNA-display peptide library/DNA-encoded peptide library/virtual peptide library
- Limited quantity; difficult to isolate, identify, and synthesize.
- Small storage capacity and insufficient diversity; high costs and time-consuming.
- Compound library; large library capacity; screening methods with limited target scope; high false-positive and false-negative rates.
