Abstract

Abstract A system or method for identifying and/or designing novel peptides and polypeptides comprising an amino acid sequence which mimics the molecular recognition site of either (a) a macromolecule such as an immunoglobulin, an enzyme, a receptor protein, a lectin or other binding protein or (b) a small molecule or a small region of a large molecule which functions as a ligand and is recognized and binds specifically to a macromolecule is disclosed. Novel peptides and polypeptides as well as conjugates of the peptides and polypeptides are also disclosed. Applications for use of the peptides, polypeptides and conjugates in a wide range of fields such as biomedicine; biological control and pest regulation; agriculture; cosmetics; environmental control and waste management; chemistry; catalysis; nutrition and food industries; military uses; climate control, etc. are disclosed.
