Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as crucial signaling molecules and modulators in biological systems. Their diverse functions hinge on specific molecular recognition and binding events. Understanding **what do peptides interact with** is fundamental to pharmacology, enabling the design of targeted therapeutics and advanced delivery systems.

Fumarate is a key intermediate in the citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle), a fundamental metabolic pathway that generates the majority of the energy for cells in the form of ATP [1.2.1, 1.6.1]. So, what does fumarate do in the body beyond basic energy production?

Lactic acidosis, a serious side effect of linezolid, occurs in about 6.8% of patients, particularly with long-term use [1.3.3, 1.3.5]. This article explains how does linezolid affect mitochondria, the underlying cause of this and other adverse effects.
