A strong revival of interest has been dedicated to peptides over the last few years, in different fields including drug discovery, biosensing and material sciences. The use of dynamic covalent chemistry has allowed the development of self‐adaptative peptides or peptidomimetics, responsive to their environment. The development of methods allowing the building, screening or deconvolution of libraries of peptides is a highly active research area and dynamic combinatorial chemistry represents an innovative and underexploited method in this field. This Review gives an overview of the use of dynamic covalent chemistry as a tool to produce peptides or peptidomimetics, with particular attention to applications in dynamic combinatorial chemistry.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
