peptideediting
Peptide editing refers to the process of modifying or altering a peptide sequence. Peptides are short chains of amino acids linked by peptide bonds, and their function is often dictated by their precise amino acid sequence and three-dimensional structure. Peptide editing can encompass a range of modifications, from simple substitutions of one amino acid for another to more complex changes like insertions, deletions, or the addition of non-amino acid chemical groups.
This editing can occur through various mechanisms. In biological systems, post-translational modifications are a form of
In synthetic biology and drug discovery, peptide editing is often achieved through laboratory techniques. Rational design
