Different directions for retro-inverso peptides.
George W PrestonPublished in: Journal of peptide science : an official publication of the European Peptide Society (2021)
Retro-inverso peptides are reversed sequences of mirror-image amino acid residues. Synthetic molecules of this type have long been considered potential mimics of functional peptides. This Peptide Highlights article examines some recent applications of the retro-inverso transformation at the interface of peptide chemistry and medicine.
