Journal of Peptide Science: two outstanding reviews, giving an insight into new opportunities for peptide science

Journal of Peptide Science

The Journal of Peptide Science just published two outstanding reviews, giving an insight into new opportunities for peptide science; a) Stephen Kent and co-workers give a summary of new synthetic approaches enabling the preparation of new proteins and peptides and b) Helma Wennemers shows how peptides can be used as catalysts for the synthesis on nano particles.

Free Webinar: Challenges and Solutions for In-Depth Coverage and Quantitation of the Immunopeptidome

The cellular immune response depends upon T cell recognition of peptides presented on the surface of cells. Tens to hundreds of thousand different MHC-bound surface peptides (the immunopeptidome) are simultaneously displayed for scrutiny by T cells. Although mass spectrometry offers a powerful approach for measurement of antigen, the informatics required for MHC peptides is one of the most extreme challenges faced in any area of study in proteomics… Continue reading
