Chemical Agents Recognition Peptides for Selectivity and Differentiation
Explore peptides recognizing VX, sarin, soman, tabun, and pesticides, aiding in agent differentiation. Peptides are hydrophobic/hydrophilic, shape- and size-specific. They help differentiate nerve agents from pesticides, provide metal discrimination, and target functional groups. Discover how these peptides assist in recognizing and differentiating various chemical substances.
