Peptides act as signal mediators in the body and are on the rise as therapeutic agents. However, their full potential can ...

Peptide therapy enhances targeted medicine, utilizing specific peptides for effective treatment of cancer, metabolic disorders, and neurodegenerative diseases.

E1s and E2s first work generically across the cell to activate and prepare ubiquitin for attachment. E3 ligases then ensure that the tag is added to the right protein; as such, hundreds of specific ...
