Abstract

Due to the metabolic instability of peptides, the design of modified isofunctional peptidomimetics is an adequate approach toward their application in pharmacology. DARWINIZER® is a computer-based tool for the de novo design of modified peptide structures. DARWINIZER® is an extension of the PepHarvester® and SME® algorithm [1–3] including non-canonical amino acids.
