Abstract
This paper outlines a process undertaken by a physician to design a peptide aimed at impacting the extracellular matrix. From a position of very little expertise, a new peptide was designed with amino acid constituents based on the structural proteins collagen and elastin. Sequencing was also considered, given the periodic repetition observed in these proteins, and a peptide with reasonable molecular weight and physical characteristics was designed using available software. The sequence of events concerning intellectual property, functionality investigation, and eventual use of the peptide in new formulations is detailed. This may be of interest to physicians who consider this exercise out of the scope of the usual practice. J Drugs Dermatol. 2024;23(5):347-352. doi:10.36849/JDD.7921.
