Aims and Scope:
Current Protein & Peptide Science publishes research articles and full-length/mini review articles on specific aspects involving proteins, peptides, and interactions between the enzymes, the binding interactions of hormones and their receptors; the properties of transcription factors and other molecules that regulate gene expression; the reactions leading to the immune response; the process of signal transduction; the structure and function of proteins involved in the cytoskeleton and molecular motors; the properties of membrane channels and transporters; and the generation and storage of metabolic energy. In addition, reviews of experimental studies of protein folding and design are given special emphasis. Manuscripts submitted to Current Protein and Peptide Science should cover a field by discussing research from the leading laboratories in a field and should pose questions for future studies.

Peptide and Peptidomimetics: Structure, Assembly, and Applications

Peptides are fundamental biomolecules, imparting structural support, biochemical regulation, and potent pharmacological activity. The therapeutic significance of peptides and peptidomimetics was first demonstrated by the discovery of Insulin, leading to the development of clinically important agents such as Captopril, Semaglutide, and Goserelin, and the antibiotic Lariocidin. Progress in peptide chemistry has been driven by advances in peptide synthesis, including novel synthetic strategies, protecting groups, and coupling reagents, enabling efficient, high-yield, enantiopure synthesis of both natural... see more

Nutrition and Metabolism in Musculoskeletal Diseases

The musculoskeletal system consists mainly of cartilage, bone, muscles, tendons, connective tissue and ligaments. Balanced metabolism is of vital importance for the homeostasis of the musculoskeletal system. A series of musculoskeletal diseases (for example, sarcopenia, osteoporosis) are resulted from the dysregulated metabolism of the musculoskeletal system. Furthermore, metabolic diseases (such as diabetes, obesity) are prevalent and connected with the changes in the musculoskeletal system. More research are called for to expand our knowledge on the... see more
