Peptides are short chains of amino acid monomers linked by peptide (amide) bonds. They can range from 2 to 50 amino acids in length. There are two main types of peptides linear peptides, which contain amino acids linked end-to-end in a chain, and cyclic peptides, which form a ring structure with their amino and carboxyl termini connected via a peptide bond. Peptides serve various important biological functions and pharmaceutical applications.
There are mainly solid-phase and liquid-phase peptide synthesis methods. Solid-phase peptide synthesis is the most commonly used method, as it allows easy purification and produces higher yields compared to liquid-phase synthesis. In the solid phase, the first amino acid is attached to an insoluble polymer support. Subsequent amino acids are then added step-by-step to grow the peptide chain. The peptide is then cleaved off the resin support and can be easily purified. Cyclic peptides pose additional challenges for synthesis and require methods like native chemical ligation or ring-closing metathesis. While solid-phase synthesis enables mass production, it requires expensive equipment and specialized materials. Liquid-phase synthesis is simpler but produces lower yields and impure peptides requiring separation.
Peptide synthesis has become one of the most important methodologies in bio-organic chemistry for research and diagnosis. Moreover, the incidence of infectious diseases such as malaria and others is expected to boost market growth. For instance, on August 21, 2025, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the risk of malaria in the U.S. is very low. People do not spread malaria to other people, like the common cold or the flu. Also, malaria is not sexually transmitted. The U.S. reports about 2,000 cases of malaria each year. Most of these cases are in people traveling to areas where malaria spreads.
Furthermore, on February 10, 2025, according to the report published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information, every year, there are about 200 million cases of malaria globally, resulting in almost half a million deaths annually. Over 90% of all malaria deaths occur in sub-Saharan Africa. Children under the age of 5 are disproportionately affected by malaria. A child dies of malaria approximately every 2 minutes.
