Abstract

Peptide strings have been developed as a concept for the past fourteen years. They are proposed to basically entail various quantum states engendered by the physical interactions of proteins containing peptide portions that are similar to one another and, moreover, amino acid sequences that are sterically complementary to each other. In this survey, additional insights are presented that support the notion that peptide strings are likely a biophysical phenomenon that warrants further investigations. Specifically, these putative peptide strings traits are the capacity for wave-like interferences and electric current-like properties. Therefore, future experimental validation and quantification of these predicted features as well as application of this potential energy that is stored in the distinct shapes of proteins and peptides may prove beneficial in addressing challenges in physics and medicine. Within the latter field, the key discipline of pharmacology should be most fundamentally advanced by the peptide strings approach.
