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.

Protein Folding, Aggregation and Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation

Protein folding, misfolding and aggregation remain one of the main problems of interdisciplinary science not only because many questions are still open, but also because they are important from the point of view of practical application. Protein aggregation and formation of fibrillar structures, for example, is a hallmark of a large group of neurodegenerative human diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease, type 2 diabetes, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and Parkinson’s disease among many others. Thanks to RNA vaccines... see more

Advancements in Proteomic and Peptidomic Approaches in Cancer Immunotherapy: Unveiling the Immune Microenvironment

The scope of this thematic issue centers on the integration of proteomic and peptidomic technologies into the field of cancer immunotherapy, with a particular emphasis on exploring the tumor immune microenvironment. This issue aims to gather contributions that illustrate the application of these advanced methodologies in unveiling the complex interplay between cancer cells and the immune system. By doing so, it seeks to facilitate the identification of new therapeutic targets and biomarkers, which could significantly... see more

Protein/protein and RNA/protein interactions are essential for molecular regulations

Protein-protein and RNA-protein interactions are fundamental to the intricate regulatory mechanisms that govern various cellular processes, playing a crucial role in maintaining the delicate balance and coordination within the complex molecular landscape. Proteins, the workhorses of the cell, engage in a myriad of interactions, both with other proteins and with RNA molecules, to orchestrate an array of biological functions, from signal transduction and gene expression to cellular homeostasis and disease pathogenesis. Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) facilitate... 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
