Australian Peptide Conference

This vibrant cultural and gastronomic hub is home to a tight-knit and diverse community of winemakers, artists, distillers, designers, growers and nature lovers from around the world. The 16th Australian Peptide Conference (or APC 2025) attendees will not only be able to access the leading minds in the field but also enjoy the abundant wildlife and landscaped spaces, over the confluence of three rivers and linked by heritage streetscapes and thoughtful architectural adaptations – a dynamic blend of old and new, tradition and innovation.

The conference will contain ample opportunities for engagement, networking, and peer-to-peer learning.

Bachem will participate in this conference.

Chemo-Enzymatic Peptide Synthesis

Monday, 13th October, 7:30 pm

This chemo-enzymatic peptide synthetic technology offers an entry into economic manufacturing processes for linear peptide drugs and small proteins. The potential of the peptiligase technology however extends far beyond linear peptides and small proteins, to areas such as macrocycles (cyclotides), antibody-drug conjugates and conjugated dual inhibitors. The enzyme does not need a specific sequence of amino acids for the recognition and does not require modifications in the sequence to make it work. Furthermore, it is highly efficient and very well scalable to kg-scale. In this poster, we’ll share several cases showing longer peptide and small protein syntheses using this technology.
