Summary
This article presents PEP-EDIT, a web server tool designed for generating and interactively editing 3D structures of complex peptides. It addresses the growing need in peptide drug development for accessible tools that can handle non-standard amino acids, non-amino components, multicyclic structures, branching, and other complex topologies. The tool enables researchers to generate and modify 1D, 2D, and 3D representations of complex peptides as a starting point for further optimization in drug discovery.

· 4 pulledIn recent years, the development of peptide drugs has seen significant growth.
These molecules often go beyond simple linear chains composed of the standard 20 amino acids.
Peptide drugs frequently incorporate non-standard amino acids, non-amino components, and can exhibit mono- or multicyclic structures, branching, and other complex topologies.
Consequently, there is a growing need for accessible tools that allow researchers to easily generate and modify 1D, 2D, and 3D representations of these complex peptides.
