Oligopeptide-8 is a chemical compound, a class of biomolecules in abbreviated form, a synthetic protein composed of amino acids linked together: alanine, arginine, histidine, glycine, lysine, phenylalanine and tyrosine
Synthetic peptides can be generated as copies of protein fragments by incorporating non-proteinogenic amino acids and modifications to enhance the proteolytic stability of the molecules. Peptides are used in the development of therapeutic drugs for their antimicrobial activity, and their bioactive interest.
