Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

Current Protein and Peptide Science focuses on research related to proteins and peptides, including their roles in cellular processes, therapeutic applications, and interactions with biological systems. Articles explore topics such as protein folding and stress responses, peptide-based therapeutics for infectious diseases and neurodegenerative disorders, and the involvement of proteins in plant defense mechanisms. The journal also covers the development of novel drug delivery systems for peptides and proteins, and the study of protein-derived materials for food applications.
