Our Peptide Chemistry team, in collaboration with scientists at Merck and Co., reported on the design, synthesis and characterization of potent and stable peptides able to inhibit the binding of NRF2-MAFG heterodimeric transcription factor to Antioxidant Response Element (ARE) DNA sequence.

Nowadays, there is a strong drive to explore new areas of chemical space in search of innovative ways to bind and modulate challenging biological targets. At IRBM our peptide chemistry team has extensive expertise in peptide and macrocyclic drug discovery in various therapeutic areas.
