Disulfide-rich peptides are wide spread in nature and as hormones and toxins play key biological roles for many organisms. Some families of disulfide-rich peptides are so large and diverse that they can be considered natural combinatorial libraries for drug discovery.
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.
