ABSTRACT
Abnormal protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are the basis of multiple diseases, and the large and shallow PPI interfaces make the target "undruggable" for traditional small molecules. Peptides, emerging as a new therapeutic modality, can efficiently mimic PPIs with their large scaffolds. Natural peptides are flexible and usually have poor serum stability and cell permeability, features that limit their further biological applications. To satisfy the clinical application of peptide inhibitors, many strategies have been developed to constrain peptides in their bioactive conformation. In this report, we describe several classic methods used to constrain peptides into a fixed secondary structure which could significantly improve their biophysical properties.
