Advances in Amino Acid Mimetics and Peptidomimetics, Volume 1 C.; Sayigh new methods and bioinformatics approachesPeptidomimetics are compounds which mimic the biological activity of peptides while offering the advantages of increased bioavailability, biostability, bioefficiency, and bioselectivity against the natural biological target of the parent peptide. Examples of peptidomimetics have been isolated as natural products, synthesized as libraries from novel subunits, and designed on the basis of X ray crystallographic studies and through an intricate knowledge
