The #peptide problem: Hype is outrunning the evidence of efficacy.

Health #Canada issues warning about online sales and lack of research on humans.

“Until then, buying vials of dry powder, reconstituting it in sterile water, and injecting the cocktail with online-purchased needles will not provide proof of anything.

It is high-risk, uncontrolled human self-experimentation.”

The peptide problem: Hype is outrunning the evidence

Grey-market peptides are becoming mainstream, but evidence of their effectiveness is thin or non-existent.

The Conversation

Palladium ist ein unverzichtbares Edelmetall für die Medizin. Doch seine Rückgewinnung aus Industrieabfällen ist bisher aufwendig und umweltbelastend. Die Forschungsgruppe Pep2Rec am Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf setzt daher auf winzige Eiweißketten, die das Metall wie eine biologische Angel aus Lösungen fischen.

Tropical psychotria plants are a rich source for peptide inhibitors of human prolyl oligopeptidase - Natural Products and Bioprospecting

Peptides from natural sources have often served as valuable leads in drug discovery. Plant-derived protease inhibitors are a notable class, yet their distribution, diversity, and targets remain underexplored. Here, eleven tropical Psychotria species were screened for cyclic cysteine-rich peptides, with extracts showing concentration-dependent inhibition of human prolyl oligopeptidase (POP). Peptidomics combining mass spectrometry and transcriptome mining revealed multiple inhibitory peptides. From Psychotria solitudinum, which contained 37 peptides, a novel peptide (psysol 3) was purified and sequenced. Its synthetic analogue inhibited POP with an IC50 of ~ 1.3 µM. Sequence analysis and synthetic probes identified loop 3 as the inhibitory motif. Psysol 3 is a new probe for POP pharmacology and future structure–activity studies.

Single-molecule #peptide #sequencing through reverse translation of peptides into DNA
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41587-026-03061-z

everything that can be bound with/converted to DNA can be "sequenced": it's sort of like SBS, but here DNA oligos are used instead of individual DNA bases and later actual SBS is performed to decode each oligo sequence... every read will inform about single aa at single position from single protein.
to sequence a protein with 300 aa, you'll need to sequence at least 300 reads!
neat!
