Synopsis

This Special Issue Book, “Marine Bioactive Peptides: Structure, Function, and
Therapeutic Potential" includes up-to-date information regarding bioactive
peptides isolated from marine organisms. Marine peptides have been found in
various phyla, and their numbers have grown in recent years. These peptides
are diverse in structure and possess broad-spectrum activities that have great
potential for medical applications. Various marine peptides are evolutionary
ancient molecular factors of innate immunity that play a key role in host defense.
A plethora of biological activities, including antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral,
anticancer, anticoagulant, endotoxin-binding, immune-modulating, etc., make
marine peptides an attractive molecular basis for drug design. This Special Issue
Book presents new results in the isolation, structural elucidation, functional
characterization, and therapeutic potential evaluation of peptides found in
marine organisms. Chemical synthesis and biotechnological production of marine
peptides and their mimetics is also a focus of this Special Issue Book.
