Peptides are short chains of amino acids made by the body itself. Peptology makes this science clear and connects you with the right expert.

peptides are short chains of amino acids that cells use to send messages to one another. every chain has its own clear job.

A peptide usually has between 2 and 50 amino acids. Being shorter than proteins, they are recognised quickly and bind to their targets selectively.

Since insulin, hundreds of peptides have been studied and some are used as medicines today. Peptology explains this body of work in plain language.

Three of the most discussed peptides in research. Each has a different length and is studied in a different field.

Ala-Glu-Asp-Glyageing

A four-amino-acid peptide synthesised from epithalamin, an extract of the pineal gland. It is studied in cellular ageing and telomere research.

Gly-His-Lys · Cu²⁺skin

A three-amino-acid peptide found naturally in human plasma that binds copper. It features in skin renewal and wound healing studies.

15 amino acidsrepair

A 15-amino-acid peptide derived from part of a protein in gastric juice. It is examined in experimental studies on tissue repair.
