For researchers who store their peptides carefully and understand the importance of proper peptide storage , the enhanced stability of the arginate form also translates to better shelf life

One notable advantage of our assay is that it enables accurate measurements of GPx activity, even when working with low substrate concentrations
Although the retro-inverso approach may fail to accurately reproduce biological function in the context of helical structures (e.g., p53 or HIV-1 proteins), certain exceptionssuch as the binding of a p53-derived retro-inverso peptide to its regulator MDM2demonstrate that well-designed D-peptides can, in specific cases, effectively mimic the function of the original peptide
