The Protein and Peptide Science Group (PPSG) is one of the RSC's many Interest Groups. The Interest Groups are member driven groups which exist to benefit RSC members, and the wider chemical science community, in line with the RSC's strategy and charter.
The interests of the Group have developed to cover:
To maintain the logical progression of molecular science through chemistry into biochemistry, biology, medicine, plant and food science. Thus, it has an interdisciplinary approach, representing the Protein science interests of chemists, molecular biologists, structural biologists, Peptide chemists and biologists, medics, members of the biotechnology, food and pharmaceutical industries.
RSC members can join this interest group by updating their details in the “Manage my interest groups” section of the online RSC membership area.
We run a free, monthly networking event that comprises two short talks from early-mid career academics. The aim of the series is to build a stronger network amongst researchers across the RSC community working in peptide and protein science. This is intended to be a relaxed and social get together and we hope to help researchers to find new collaborations, to share ideas and to promote themselves and their research.
The seminars take place at 1pm on the first Friday of each month hosted on zoom. Registration links for each seminar can be found via the forthcoming events link at the bottom of this page.
If you would like to present in future seminars, please contact one of the organisers (Louis Luk, Chris Coxon or Louise Walport).

Please get in touch with the Networks Team if you would like to be sent a copy of last year’s annual report for the Protein and Peptide Science Group.
The group issues e-alerts which provides links to group events and other relevant information which may be of interest to you. We also encourage you to connect with us on LinkedIn.
The committee members listed are responsible for designing programmes that will advance chemistry in the subject area, helping the RSC to meet its aims, engaging with and supporting our members.
We are always keen to welcome new members to the committee. When vacancies arise, we circulate a “Call for Committee”, where an email is sent to all members of the group to make them aware of new opportunities to join the committee.
It is important to have diverse representation on committees to consider the needs of our membership. All RSC members are welcome to stand for committee positions when vacancies are advertised.
