Anchor extension: a structure-guided approach to design cyclic peptides targeting enzyme active sites

Cyclic peptides are of particular interest due to their pharmacological properties, but their design for binding to a target protein is challenging. Here, the authors present a computational “anchor extension” methodology for de novo design of cyclic peptides that bind to the target protein with hig...
