Enkola z’enkyukakyuka y’emmere n’ensengekera z’omubiri (endocrine systems) zitereeza enkyukakyuka y’ebintu by’omuntu, enzikiriziganya y’amaanyi, n’okukula n’enkulaakulana nga ziyita mu mutimbagano gw’obusimu ogw’omulembe. Soma Ebisingawo

Peptides z’okunoonyereza ze molekyu ezikoleddwa mu ngeri ey’emirimu ezisengekeddwa mu laboratory, nga omugaso gwazo omukulu guli mu kuwa obuwagizi obw’ebikozesebwa mu kunoonyereza ku ssaayansi w’obulamu era nga zikozesebwa nnyo mu mbeera z’okunoonyereza mu vitro. 'Okunoonyereza mu vitro,' okuva mu kigambo ky'Olulattini 'in vitro' (ekitegeeza 'mu ndabirwamu'), naddala kitegeeza okunoonyereza okukoleddwa mu mbeera z'okugezesa ezifugibwa mu ngeri ey'ekikugu, gamba ng'okukuza obutoffaali, okwekenneenya enkolagana ya molekyu, oba okukebera enkola y'ebiramu.

Ekiyungo kya peptide kye kiyungo kya covalent eky’engeri mu molekyo za puloteyina, ekikolebwa okuyita mu nkola y’okufuukuuka kw’amazzi wakati w’ekibinja kya α-carboxyl (α-COOH) ekya amino asidi emu n’ekibinja kya α-amino (-NH2) ekya amino asidi eriraanyewo. Obutonde bwayo obw’eddagala (chemical nature) buba bwa amide bond. Soma Ebisingawo

Amino asidi bikozesebwa ebiramu ebirimu ekibinja kya α-amino (α-NH2) n’ekibinja kya α-carboxyl (α-COOH), nga zirina ensengekera eya bulijjo RCH(NH2)COOH. Atomu ya α-kaboni eyungibwa ku kibinja ky’olujegere olw’ebbali (ekibinja kya R), nga kikola yuniti z’ensengekera enkulu eza macromolecules ez’ebiramu. Soma Ebisingawo

Okulongoosa peptide y’enkola y’okwawula n’okugaggawaza ebitabuddwa bya peptide ebitali bimu ebifunibwa okuyita mu kusengejja oba okulaga nga tukozesa enkola ez’omubiri, ez’eddagala oba ez’ebiramu okufuna peptide ezigendereddwamu ez’obulongoofu obw’amaanyi. Soma Ebisingawo

Okusaanuuka kwa peptide kitegeeza omuwendo ogusinga obunene ogwa peptide oguyinza okusaanuuka mu yuniti ya voliyumu y’ekizimbulukusa wansi w’embeera ez’enjawulo ez’ebbugumu ne pH, ezitera okumanyibwa olw’obungi bw’obuzito (g/L) oba obuzito bwa molar (mol/L). Nga ekintu ekikulu eky’obutonde, kikwata butereevu ku nkola z’okunyiga, okusaasaana, okukyusakyusa, n’okufulumya (ADME) enkola za peptides mu vivo, era era kisalawo tekinologiya w’okuteekateeka, okutebenkera kw’okutereka, n’obulungi bw’okukozesa eddagala eryesigamiziddwa ku peptide mu bujjanjabi.

Ebirungo bya peptide, olw’ensengekera zaabyo ez’enjawulo eza amino asidi n’ensengekera z’ekifo, birina engeri nti emirimu gyabyo egy’ebiramu gikwatibwa nnyo ebikosa obutonde bw’ensi obw’ebweru. Ensonga enkulu enkulu ey’okutereka peptide kwe kuziyiza ensengekera z’eddagala nga okuvunda, okufuuka omukka, n’okugatta, bwe kityo ne kikuuma obulungi bw’ensengekera yazo n’emirimu gy’ebiramu.
