Bioactive Peptides_ From Discovery to Clinical Applications

Bioactive peptides are typically discovered through various methods including computational analysis, screening natural sources like plants or marine organisms, or even through modification of existing proteins. These peptides are known for their ability to interact with specific receptors or molecules in the body, triggering biochemical pathways that can influence physiological processes
