Peptides are smaller versions of proteins. Both proteins and peptides are made up of amino acids, but peptides contain far fewer amino acids than proteins. Like proteins, peptides are naturally present in foods.

Peptides are easier for the body to absorb than proteins because they are smaller and more broken down than proteins. They can more easily penetrate skin and intestines which helps them enter the bloodstream more quickly.

We are focussed on bioactive peptides, or those that have a beneficial effect on the body and positively impact human health. Different bioactive peptides have different properties. The effects they have on the body vary depending on the sequence of amino acids they contain

Since our founding in 2014, we have built and grown our unique discovery platform N𝛑𝛟™ (Nuritas Peptide Finder). Our N𝛑𝛟™ artificial intelligence platform with wet lab has been shaped and trained on years of proprietary experimental data as well as curated structured and unstructured data allowing it to predict novel peptides with targeted efficacy.

Beyond efficacy N𝛑𝛟™ can also predict with huge accuracy the chemical and physical characteristics of peptides needed to have clinical and commercial viability, such as cell penetration or bioavailability.
