How Many Peptides Are There

Peptides, short chains of amino acids linked by peptide bonds, play crucial roles in biological processes.

01

Key Facts

  • Over 80 FDA-approved peptide drugs are on the market (as of 2023).
  • A 10-amino-acid peptide has 20^10 (about 10 trillion) possible combinations.
  • Peptide databases include PeptideAtlas and the Antimicrobial Peptide Database.
  • Example peptide drugs mentioned: liraglutide, insulin (recombinant), semaglutide, lutathera, and nesiritide.
