Peptide libraries are collections of peptides with systematic variations used to study protein interactions, identify active sequences, and develop new drugs. They enable high-throughput screening and combinatorial chemistry approaches to explore vast chemical space efficiently.

Collections of peptides

Systematic variations

Protein interactions are fundamental to virtually all biological processes, as they dictate the formation of protein complexes that perform cellular functions. Understanding these interactions is crucial for insights into cellular mechanisms and the development of therapeutic interventions for diseases.

Protein Interactions

Active sequences

New drugs

High-Throughput Screening (HTS) is a method used in drug discovery to quickly conduct millions of chemical, genetic, or pharmacological tests through automation and miniaturization, allowing researchers to rapidly identify active compounds, antibodies, or genes that modulate a particular biomolecular pathway. This approach accelerates the process of finding potential therapeutic agents by efficiently evaluating large libraries of compounds against biological targets.

High-Throughput Screening

Combinatorial chemistry is a method used in chemistry to create large libraries of chemical compounds by systematically combining sets of building blocks. This approach accelerates the discovery of new molecules with potential applications in drug development, materials science, and other fields by enabling the rapid screening and optimization of compound properties.
