Peptides as Tools to Study Protein Function I
This symposium focuses on the use of peptides to study protein function. This includes: The use of peptides as enzyme inhibitors Peptides as receptor agonists/antagonists Peptides as therapeutics agents Peptides as protein structure/function probes The use of peptides to probe enzyme reaction mechanisms Peptide chemistry and synthetic methodologies as they broadly relate to protein function.
