Protein synthesis revolution on way as large peptides made in hours not days

Good news!

"The new technique is very rapid and can be used to add both natural and unnatural amino acids at any position on the protein backbone, opening new possibilities in drug discovery and materials science. ... Their new automated chemical protocol has allowed them to prepare peptides up to 164 amino acids long in hours – something that would take several days of synthesizing and then stitching together smaller peptides using conventional techniques."
