- What are pseudoproline amino acids and what advantage do they have in peptide synthesis?
- What are the typical contaminants associated with peptide synthesis?
- What is the difference between peptide purity and peptide yield?
- What are the typical salts associated with my peptide?
- If I have biotin in my peptide, do I need a spacer between the biotin group and the peptide sequence and if so which spacer should I use?
-
What can I do to increase the cell permeability of a peptide?
Sequences which exist in the public domain such as penetratin and the TAT sequence can be added to your sequence. These motifs are known to assist in the transportation of peptides across the membrane and into the cell. Please contact us and we can advise how to best incorporate these sequences into your peptide to improve synthesis outcome.
- How do I solubilize my peptides?
- How do I characterize batches of my "drug candidate" peptide, which contains a D-amino acid?
- How do you calculate hydrophobicity?
