Aims & Scope

The International Journal of Peptide Research and Therapeutics publishes the latest developments in peptide therapeutics and high quality research covering all aspects of peptide science. The journal brings together in a single source the most exciting peer-reviewed work in peptide research, including isolation, structural characterization, synthesis and biological activity of peptides, and thereby aids in the development of unifying concepts from diverse perspectives. Coverage includes new advances in peptide drug delivery systems; application of peptide therapeutics to specific diseases; advances in synthetic methods; development of new procedures for construction of peptide libraries and methodology for screening of such mixtures; the use of peptides in the study of enzyme specificity and mechanism, receptor binding and antibody/antigen interactions; applications of such techniques as chromatography, electrophoresis, NMR and X-ray crystallography; mass spectrometry.
