Peptide Modeling Services
Peptides are made up of amino acid molecules, which are the "building blocks" of proteins. Peptides are short proteins, approximately 2-100 amino acids in length. CD ComputaBio offers a range of peptide modeling services to assist researchers and pharmaceutical companies in peptide drug discovery and development.
Introduction to Peptide Modeling
Peptides are chain molecules formed by the dehydration condensation of the amino group (-NH2) and the carboxyl group (-COOH) of amino acids to form peptide bonds. Peptide modeling is an important aspect of modern biological research and drug development, bridging the gap between computational chemistry and molecular biology. Reasonable modeling methods can identify and design effective candidate molecules from the vast chemical space represented by peptides. The application of structure prediction methods and molecular dynamics simulations can also verify the effectiveness of candidate molecules.

Applications of Peptide Modeling in Biomedicine
Peptide modeling is an important part of peptide structural biology. Peptide modeling helps researchers use short peptides as model systems to study the self-assembly behavior and functional applications of biomolecules and has become a frontier hotspot in the field of biomolecular assembly.
- Peptide-Based Vaccines Development
Peptide modeling can predict the structure and presentation of epitopes, and designed epitopes are expected to produce strong and long-lasting immune responses to pathogens.
- Creating Peptide Libraries
Designing peptide libraries using peptide modeling allows researchers to quickly and efficiently explore a large number of potential therapeutic candidates.
- Drug Conjugation to Peptides
Peptides can be used as carriers for drug delivery, and modeling helps predict how well these peptides transport and release therapeutic agents in specific tissues or cells.
- Therapeutic Peptide Design
Peptide modeling helps to simulate or predict the targets, binding sites, interactions, stability, toxicity, and indications of therapeutic peptides.
