Peptide Evolution: A How-To Guide From Synthesis to Final Formulation

From cosmetics to medicine, there are various applications for peptides and proteins. These amino acid chains are often considered attractive therapeutic agents due to the possibility of creating tailored formulas for several applications.

To formulate a peptide or protein, you need to perform a chemical synthesis using mainly a solution-phase synthesis (SPS) or a solid-phase synthesis (SPPS). However, due to these compounds' complexity, there is no universal solution, and each compound requires a tailored approach based on its different characteristics.
