Computer-Aided Discovery of Pentapeptide AEYTR as a Potent Acetylcholinesterase Inhibitor

One of the key targets in the drug development for potential Alzheimer’s disease (AD) therapeutics is the search for acetylcholinesterase enzyme (AChE) inhibitors. Very recently, a pentapeptide AEYTR was reported as a potential inhibitor for AChE. The peptide was identified in a retrospectively vali...
