Synopsis

This volume presents a contemporary understanding of protein and peptide transport mechanisms and metabolism as a framework for facilitating the design, and evaluation of peptidomimetic and other peptide-based drugs that combine high intrinsic potency with improved drug delivery properties. The book provides an introductory chapter addressing the molecular biology of amino acid and peptide transport. It includes sections on: intestinal peptide transport; blood-brain barrier peptide transport; peptide transport in microorganisms; and peptide metabolism.
