International Journal of Peptide Research and Therapeutics

Aims & Scope

The International Journal for Peptide Research & Therapeutics is an international, peer-reviewed journal focusing on issues, research, and integration of knowledge on the latest developments in peptide therapeutics.

The Journal brings together in a single source the most exciting 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.

The Journal invites substantial contributions in the following thematic areas: -New advances in peptide drug delivery systems. -Application of peptide therapeutics to specific diseases. -New advances in synthetic methods. -The 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.
