Peptide Research Resources & Databases
Peptide research continues to expand, with increasing studies on GLP-1, GIP, and other bioactive peptides. To support U.S.-based researchers in laboratory studies, we’ve compiled a curated list of trusted peer-reviewed journals, academic databases, specialized peptide resources, and chemical databases. All links and resources are intended for educational and laboratory research use only.
1️⃣ Peer-Reviewed Journals
These journals provide original research, reviews, and preclinical studies on peptides and related pathways:
- Peptides (Journal) – Covers biochemistry, pharmacology, and peptide biology.
- Journal of Peptide Science – Official journal of the European Peptide Society.
- Peptide Science – Interdisciplinary studies on peptide synthesis and bioactivity.
- Current Protein & Peptide Science – Covers protein and peptide research, including receptor interactions and metabolic pathways.
2️⃣ Academic Databases
These databases aggregate peer-reviewed biomedical and life science research, making it easier to locate peptide studies:
- PubMed / PubMed Central (PMC) – Comprehensive biomedical literature database.
- Biological Abstracts (Web of Science) – Indexed life science research across peptides and proteins.
- MedRxiv – Preprint server for early-stage biomedical research.
