Towards rational computational peptide design. [PDF]
Front Bioinform, 2022 Peptides are prevalent in biology, mediating as many as 40% of protein-protein interactions, and involved in other cellular functions such as transport and signaling. Their ability to bind with high specificity make them promising therapeutical agents with intermediate properties between small molecules and large biologics. Beyond their biological role,

Designing antioxidant peptides [PDF]
Redox Report, 2014 Ionizing radiation causes the generation of damaging reactive oxygen species that lead to cellular damage and death. Organisms such as Deinococcus radiodurans have evolved mechanisms for extreme resistance to ionizing radiation, and resistance has been shown to be a consequence of protection of critical proteins from oxidative inactivation.D ...
