Funded Activity Summary

Selective fluorination chemistry: a tool for creating bioactive, shape-controlled peptides. Fluorine atoms are desirable substituents in drug candidates because they can increase metabolic stability and hydrophobicity, and because they can be used to constrain molecules into optimal bioactive conformations. These concepts are being exploited to create shape-controlled peptides with applications in anti-cancer and anti-microbial therapy.
