Peptide Synthesis: An Overview of Techniques and Applications

Peptide synthesis is a fundamental process in biochemistry and pharmaceuticals, enabling the creation of custom peptides for research, therapeutics, and diagnostics. Advances in solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) and liquid-phase peptide synthesis (LPPS) have revolutionized the field, allowing for the efficient production of high-purity peptides with diverse modifications.

Methods of Peptide Synthesis

Solid-Phase Peptide Synthesis (SPPS)

Developed by Bruce Merrifield, SPPS is the most widely used method.

Peptides are synthesized on an insoluble resin, enabling stepwise addition of amino acids.

Ideal for producing short to medium-length peptides (up to 50 residues).

Liquid-Phase Peptide Synthesis (LPPS)

Traditionally used for large-scale production.

Requires purification after each coupling step, making it more complex than SPPS.

Hybrid Techniques

Combining SPPS and LPPS for challenging sequences.

Used for long peptides, cyclic peptides, and post-translationally modified peptides.

Applications of Synthetic Peptides

Drug Development (e.g., insulin, antimicrobial peptides)

Vaccine Research (peptide-based epitopes for immune response)

Diagnostic Tools (antibody production, biomarker detection)

Cosmeceuticals (anti-aging, collagen-stimulating peptides)
