Les substances naturelles d’origine peptidique constituent une très grande classe de composés à fort intérêt biologique et médicinal. De nombreux médicaments en sont issus, avec des structures et des activités biologiques aussi diverses que les pénicillines (antibiotiques), la ciclosporine (immunosuppresseur) ou l’insuline (antidiabétique). La réactivité des intermédiaires peptidiques et leur biosynthèse conduit fréquemment à des […]
