Peptides composed of amino acids play a very important role in controlling various physiological functions. Synthetic peptides are highly effective for the mimicry particular protein regions. They can be created as precise replicas of protein fragments or with various chemical alterations, such as the addition of nonproteinogenic amino acids and modifications to the peptide backbone. These changes not only broaden the chemical and structural variety of peptides but also enhance their resistance to proteolysis.
