Peptide chemists have a myriad of approaches available to optimize lead peptide structures for activity, potency and the desired selectivity for the target of interest. Thus multiple modifications and/or longer-range structural features (e.g. cyclization) are often necessary to obtain the desired stability. For example, while gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) already contains pyroglutamic acid at the N-terminus and a C-terminal amide, clinically used analogs contain a D-amino acid at position 6 in the middle of the peptide to stabilize the peptides to metabolism as well as modified C-termini.

Peptide Modification
Peptide modification refers to the covalent and
generally enzymatic modification of proteins following
protein biosynthesis. Proteins are synthesized by
ribosomes translating mRNA into polypeptide chains,
which may then undergo peptide modification to form
the mature protein product.

Application
Amidation not only enhances the activity of peptide hormones,
but also prolongs their shelf life.
This increases their ability to enter cells.
Alter structure to better understand biological function
Enhance immunogenicity for antibody development and production
The changes reduce the effect of charged C- or N-termini during ELISA
binding.
