Peptide Bioactivity

Meaning

Peptide bioactivity refers to the specific, measurable effect that a peptide molecule exerts on a living organism, cell, or tissue, encompassing its therapeutic or physiological function. This property is a direct consequence of the peptide’s ability to interact with and modulate specific biological targets, such as cellular receptors or enzymes. Quantifying peptide bioactivity is essential in drug development and clinical practice to ensure potency, efficacy, and predictable therapeutic results in hormonal and metabolic interventions.
