2023.12.13 08:01If my peptide is 95% pure, what is the other 5%?When a peptide is reported to be 95% pure, the remaining 5% typically consists of impurities, which can include various undesired substances resulting from the peptide synthesis process. The nature of these impurities can vary based on the synthesis method, protecting groups used, and the specific conditions employed during the ...
2023.12.12 06:45How are peptides purified?The purification of peptides involves separating the target peptide from other components, such as impurities, by employing various chromatographic and purification techniques. The specific method used depends on factors such as the properties of the peptide and the scale of purification. Here are common methods for peptide puri...
2023.12.11 08:18How should the ends of the peptide be handled? Keep it free or block it?Handling the ends of a peptide can depend on the context and purpose of the peptide modification or application.Free Ends:Advantages: Free ends offer flexibility and can be useful when further modifications or interactions are planned.Considerations: Free ends might increase susceptibility to degradation by enzymes or reduce sta...
2023.12.08 09:09What is the basic difference between peptone and peptide?Peptone and peptide are related terms in the context of biochemistry and microbiology, but they have distinct differences:1.Composition:- Peptone: Peptone is a complex mixture of peptides and amino acids. It is typically derived from partially digested protein sources, such as meat, casein, or soy. Peptone is commonly used in mi...
