Peptidomimetic
A protein mimetic is a molecule such as a peptide, a modified peptide or any other molecule that biologically mimics the action or activity of some other protein. Protein mimetics are commonly used in drug design and discovery. Types of mimetics There are a number of different distinct classes of protein mimetics. A peptidomimetic is a small protein-like chain designed to mimic a peptide.[1] They typically…

Phosphomimetics
A protein mimetic is a molecule such as a peptide, a modified peptide or any other molecule that biologically mimics the action or activity of some other protein. Protein mimetics are commonly used in drug design and discovery. Types of mimetics There are a number of different distinct classes of protein mimetics. PHOSPHOMIMETICS Phosphomimetics are amino acid substitutions that mimic a phosphorylated protein, thereby activating (or…
