Ozempic has been making headlines for its remarkable success in treating obesity and diabetes. Yet it is just one in a rapidly growing class of drugs called peptide therapeutics that sits between ...

Popular weight loss drugs have a dirty secret.

Producing the drugs is a dirty process ...

Vapourtec's Peptide-Builder, a fully automated, high-throughput benchtop peptide synthesizer, has been designed to redefine solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS). Compact, efficient and intuitive, it ...

The peptide synthesis market is expanding due to growing demand for peptide-based therapeutics, driven by superior target specificity and lower toxicity. Innovations like microwave-assisted SPPS ...

A recent video produced by Vapourtec highlights the patented automatic Variable Bed Flow Reactor (VBFR) demonstrating fully automated solid phase peptide synthesis. The process begins with swelling ...

Amide Technologies has raised $16.5 million in venture capital to help commercialize its peptide production process. The process was developed from 2011 to 2017 in the lab of the Massachusetts ...

A peptide sequence that performs well at micromole scale may behave unpredictably at gram or kilogram scale. Coupling efficiency, acceptable with high reagent excess, can drop when equivalents are ...

What is it? As the name suggests, nonribosomal peptide synthesis (NRPS) generates polypeptides sans ribosome. The resultant peptides, generally short oligomers of two to perhaps 48 residues, are not ...
