This recently published special issue originates from the scientific contributions at the 7th International Meeting on Antimicrobial Peptides held in Copenhagen, at the Panum Center at the University of Copenhagen on 25-27 August 2017. The conference was organized under the auspices of Roskilde University, the University of Copenhagen, and the Protein & Peptide Science Group of the Royal Society of Chemistry. The chairmen were Paul Robert Hansen and Håvard Jenssen. Read Håvard Jenssen’s editorial for Continue reading →

Dear colleagues, The deadline for the early registration to the international thematic school PEPPERSchool (PEPTIDE AND PROTEIN ENGINEERING: FROM CONCEPTS TO BIOTECHNOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS) that we are organizing in Carry-le-Rouet (France) on May 13-17th 2018 has been extended to 15th April. Chemical ligation strategies, incorporation of non-canonical amino acids into proteins, selective modification of peptides/proteins, hybrids systems (proteins + catalysts) as well as different display methodologies (phage, cis and ribosome) will be covered. This is a Continue reading →

The 16th edition of the Iberian Peptide Meeting (16EPI), an EPS-sponsored reunion, was held at the auditorium of the Barcelona Biomedical Research Park on February 5-7, 2018, in conjunction with the 4th Meeting of the Chemical Biology Division of the Spanish Royal Society of Chemistry (RSEQ). Held for the first time in 1988, the EPI (Encuentro Peptídico Ibérico) is among the longest-running peptide events supported by the EPS. In this edition, jointly organized by Pompeu Continue reading →
