Overview

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia · Read full article · Text CC BY-SA 4.0

Luis Moroder was an Italian peptide chemist, who pioneered research on the interactions between peptide hormones and cell membrane-bound hormone receptors. He later expanded this research to other biological systems of medical relevance such as protein inhibitors, collagens, and synthetic proteins. A hallmark of his research is interdisciplinarity as reflected in his use and development of methods in organic chemistry, biophysics and molecular biology. He was a co-editor of the five-volume Houben-Weyl, Methods of Organic Chemistry, Synthesis of Peptides and Peptidomimetics. From 2008 he was the editor-in-chief of the Journal of Peptide Science, the official journal of the European Peptide Society.
