Description
Summary:This opinion is focused on the electrochemistry of peptides utilised in biological and technological processes. The redox behaviour of peptides important in biomedicine, neuropeptides and antimicrobial peptides is highlighted. In addition to peptides composed of essential amino acids, peptide-mimetic molecules such as peptide nucleic acid and artificial peptidic wires transferring protons and electrons are reviewed. The application of electrochemistry for the research of peptide–membrane and peptide–surface interactions is also discussed. [Display omitted] •Electrochemistry of peptides utilised in biological systems is reviewed.•Special attention is given to neuropeptides and antimicrobial peptides.•Applications of peptide-mimetic molecules and peptidic wires are described.•Finally, the further directions in peptide electrochemistry are discussed.
