Abstract:
Peptides display a broad range of regulatory functions. Ormancey et al. recently identified an important new mechanism – complementary peptides (cPEPs) – that provide a versatile means to control cell functions. We draw a parallel between RNA and peptide biology, and discuss new routes of investigation and industrial applications opened by this work.
