  "textContent": "Researchers have identified a versatile enzyme capable of reshaping peptide-based drugs into more stable, longer-lasting forms. Chemistry researchers at the University of Utah have identified an enzyme called PapB that can “tie off” therapeutic peptides, which are protein-like drugs, into compact ring structures. This process is known as macrocyclization. According to new research, this approach [...]",
