University of Utah scientists report that a radical SAM enzyme known as PapB can join the ends of certain therapeutic peptides to form stable, ring-shaped structures. In experiments described in ACS Bio & Med Chem Au, the enzyme macrocyclized GLP-1-like peptides—including versions containing nonstandard amino acids found in some modern incretin drugs—an approach the researchers say could help make GLP-1 medicines such as semaglutide (Ozempic and Wegovy) more resistant to breakdown.
