Peptides
Peptides and their derivatives exhibit a broad spectrum of biological activities such as antimicrobial, antiviral, anticancer activities, antiglycation, anti-inflammatory, antioxidants and also therapeutically most important in a broad range of areas including neurology, endocrinology and haematology.
