What are Peptide Analogues?
Peptide analogues are short chains of amino acids designed to interact with specific receptors or enzymes. In research, they are used to study signalling pathways, cellular communication, and metabolic regulation. Examples include synthetic analogs of hormones and neuropeptides.
Research Applications
- Investigating receptor binding and signal transduction.
- Modeling metabolic pathways and energy homeostasis.
- Exploring tissue repair, inflammation modulation, and neuroprotection.
