Evidence for a novel mechanism of antimicrobial action of a cyclic R-,W-rich hexapeptide. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The development of antimicrobial peptides as new class of antibiotic agents requires structural characterisation and understanding of their diverse mechanisms of action. As the cyclic hexapeptide cWFW (cyclo(RRRWFW)) does not exert its rapid cell killing

Discovery and Characteristics of a Novel Antitumor Cyclopeptide Derived from Shark
Bioengineering, 2023 Peptides pose a challenge in drug development due to their short half-lives in vivo. In this study, we conducted in vitro degradation experiments on SAIF, which is a shark-derived peptide that we previously studied.

Binding Interactions of Peptide Aptamers
Molecules, 2020 Peptide aptamers are short amino acid chains that are capable of binding specifically to ligands in the same way as their much larger counterparts, antibodies. Ligands of therapeutic interest that can be targeted are other peptide chains or loops located
