      I make a lot of peptides! Short peptides and long ones. Most recently i was working with a known antibacterial peptide known as Temporin.
      Just to put things into perspective, a peptide is made up of amino acids and there are 20 common amino acids. For example, if i want to look at peptides just 4 amino acids in length there are 20 × 20 × 20 × 20 = 160,000 different possible sequences! The possibilities are infinite
