What are the Challenges in Peptide Synthesis for Nanotechnology?
One of the main challenges in peptide synthesis for nanotechnology applications is achieving high purity and yield of the synthesized peptides. Impurities can affect the self-assembly and functionality of peptides in nanotechnology applications. Another challenge is the synthesis of longer peptides, which can be difficult due to issues like aggregation and side reactions. Additionally, the cost and complexity of synthesizing peptides with non-natural amino acids or post-translational modifications can be prohibitive.
