Peptide-centric approaches—sometimes referred to as shotgun strategies or bottom-up proteomics—are now widely adopted as a means of identifying proteins present in biological mixtures.

Circulating concentrations of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and the N-terminal fragment (NT) of its prohormone (proBNP) are related to cardiac function and have emerged as clinically useful ...

If that sounds overwhelming, consider this your peptides crib sheet. “Peptides are fragments of protein, and it’s these proteins that are the building blocks of the skin,” says Dr Ewoma ...
