'does the science really work'

Check out this article:
'The Future of Peptide Development in the Pharmaceutical Industry'
A very good article released in 2010 but still very relevant. Lots of answers.

From the article:
'The potential of peptides should be no surprise.
Evolution has been honing the specificity of polypeptides
for millions of years. Amino acid sequences –
whether they are in peptides or in proteins – control
and direct all aspects of cellular function and coordinate
most intercellular communication. No other class of
biological molecules offers the range of chemical
diversity that peptides and proteins possess. They are
nature’s tool kit and the more we can use native
peptides or closely related analogs, the safer and
more specific the drugs at the physician’s disposal.'
