Synthesis of cyclic peptides as bioconjugation platforms

Abstract

Cyclic peptides are investigated as a platform to induce different orientations between various ligands. Through click chemistry, a variety of Toll-like receptor ligands can be attached to the cyclic peptides, which are based on gramicidin S.
