This book covers strategies to improve cell permeability, intestinal permeability, and metabolic stability, which are the typical liabilities associated with cyclic peptides, to enhance protein-protein recognition, and to build upon nature’s cyclic peptides and macrocycles. Chapters also cover key peptide screening and display strategies, as well as important synthetic approaches towards cyclic and helical peptides. Cyclic peptides have become of significant importance as chemical tools in biology and drug discovery, since this class of chemicals has become a credible alternative source of new drug leads on par with traditional small molecules. As a part of the Methods in Molecular Biology series, this collection includes the kind of detail and implementation advice to aid researchers in the field. Authoritative and cutting-edge, Cyclic Peptide Design serves as a critical resource and go-to reference for researchers within the pharmaceutical industry, as well as scientists and students in the bioorganic, medicinal, and natural product chemistry fields.

This volume explores the latest techniques and strategies used to study the field of peptide macrocycles. The chapters in this book ae organized into four parts: macrocycles synthesis, combinational library synthesis and screening, macrocycle characterization, and unique applications. Part One looks at a variety of peptide cyclization methodologies, and Part Two describes methods for the creation of peptide macrocycles libraries and their subsequent screening against biological targets of interest. Part Three discusses the study and characterization of peptide macrocycle-target interactions, and Part Four introduces unique applications for peptide macrocycles, from higher-order structure formation to post-synthetic functional modifications. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Cutting-edge and comprehensive, Peptide Macrocycles: Methods and Protocols is a valuable resource for both novice and expert researchers looking to learn more about this developing field.

Cyclic peptides are increasingly employed as chemical tools in biology and drug discovery. They have gained a lot of interest as alternative sources of new drugs to traditional small molecules. This book introduces cyclic peptides and provides a thorough overview of biosynthetic and fully synthetic approaches to their preparation. Following an introduction to cyclic peptides, biosynthetic and traditional chemical routes to cyclic peptides are reviewed. Due to their size, their synthesis is not trivial. Recent advances in the incorporation of novel structural units are presented in addition to how synthesis and biological methods can be combined. The chemical analysis of this molecular class is also discussed. Furthermore, chapters detail the progression of cyclic peptides as tools in biology and as potential drugs, providing a future vision of their importance. In total, this book provides the reader with a comprehensive view of the state-of-the-art of cyclic peptides, from construction to possible clinical utility. This book will be an essential resource for students, researchers and scientists within industry in medicinal, bioorganic, natural product and analytical chemistry fields.

Peptides serve as effective drugs in the clinic today. However the inherent drawbacks of peptide structures can limit their efficacy as drugs. To overcome this researchers are developing new methods to create ‘tailor-made’ peptides and proteins with improved pharmacological properties. Design of Peptides and Proteins provides an overview of the experimental and computational methods for peptide and protein design, with an emphasis on specific applications for therapeutics and biomedical research. Topics covered include: Computer modeling of peptides and proteins Peptidomimetics Design and synthesis of cyclic peptides Carbohydrates in peptide and protein design De novo design of peptides and proteins Medical development applications An extended case study – the design of insulin variants Design of Peptides and Proteins presents the state-of-the-art of this exciting approach for therapeutics, with contributions from international experts. It is an essential resource for academic and industrial scientists in the fields of peptide and protein drug design, biomedicine, biochemistry, biophysics, molecular modelling, synthetic organic chemistry and medicinal/pharmaceutical chemistry.

Cyclic peptides fill an intermediate niche between traditional small molecule therapeutics and larger biologics. In ideal cases they combine the passive permeability and oral availability of small molecules with the binding specificity of larger biologics. However, achieving both of these features in a single designed cyclic peptide has remained elusive, with the majority of clinically approved cyclic peptides being derived from natural products. In order to address this problem my doctoral research focuses on developing new methods for the de novo computational design of cyclic peptides to have improved permeability and binding properties. Collaborators and I designed over 70 cyclic peptides that have apparent passive membrane permeabilities > 1*10^-6 cm/s that are of a broader size and conformational range than have been previously reported. I also worked to expand computational methods for the incorporation of noncanonical amino acids at cyclic peptide binder interfaces to increase predicted binding affinity.
