Disulfide rich peptides have gained significant attention recently due to their incredible biological stability and tolerance to epitope grafting. This class of peptides is often folded in solution, a...
When it comes to synthesizing a peptide, the first thing that comes to mind is the number of stoichiometric equivalents to use. Sometimes that number is as few as 1.5, sometimes it’s as high as 20! Bu...
In my role as a peptide application scientist, I have had the pleasure of working with many groups that are venturing into the world of peptides for the first time. Although it seems rather straightfo...
Would you ever consider an alternative to reversed- phase HPLC to purify your synthetic peptides? It seems like a silly question, right. And like many of you, I literally laughed at my Product Manager...
More and more we are seeing groups that would historically undertake only traditional organic chemistry or possibly biochemistry/biology, incorporate peptides into their research programs. While this ...
There are many techniques available to analyze and identify synthetic compounds that we are taught in the first few years of our chemistry education. While tools like NMR spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy...
Purification by reversed-phase chromatography relies primarily on a hydrophobic interaction of the molecule with the alkyl chains bonded to the stationary phase for column retention and elution throug...
