Different directions for retro-inverso peptides

George W Preston. J Pept Sci. 2022 Jun.

Abstract

Retro-inverso peptides are reversed sequences of mirror-image amino acid residues. Synthetic molecules of this type have long been considered potential mimics of functional peptides. This Peptide Highlights article examines some recent applications of the retro-inverso transformation at the interface of peptide chemistry and medicine.
