peptide libraries

Peptide libraries are collections of many different small chains of amino acids, called peptides, systematically created to represent a wide variety of possible sequences. Researchers use these libraries to quickly identify peptides that can bind to specific targets, like proteins or cells, assisting in drug discovery and diagnostics. By testing these diverse peptides against a target, scientists can discover new molecules with desired biological properties or functions, making peptide libraries powerful tools in biomedical research.
