Peptides as Tools to Study Protein Function

	Symposium Organizer Robert Hondal Department of biochemistry University of Vermont Contact

This symposium will focus on the use of peptides to study protein function. This includes:

• the use of peptides as enzyme inhibitors;
• peptides as receptor agonists/antagonists;
• peptides as therapeutics agents;
• peptides as protein structure/function probes;
• the use of peptides to probe enzyme reaction mechanisms.

Peptide chemistry and synthetic methodologies will also be considered if they broadly relate to protein function.
