FAQ：

What is Net Peptide Content?
It is important to understand the difference between net peptide content and total peptide weight (gross weight). In general, peptide lyophilized powder samples contain not only peptides, but also other substances such as water, solvents absorbed by peptides, counterions, and salts. The total peptide weight (gross weight) refers to the weight of all these mixtures. The net peptide content is relative to the non-peptide substances, balanced ions and water, and after removing these, the remaining is the net peptide content. The net peptide content can be determined by nitrogen analysis or amino acid composition analysis, usually accounting for 50-80% of the total peptide weight. Net peptide content is different from peptide purity, which refers to the percentage of peptide of interest in a sample.

How is my peptide transported? What test reports are provided?

All freeze-dried polypeptides are usually stored in special containers of 2 ml or 10ml with original analytical data and synthesis reports containing important information such as sequence, molecular weight, purity, weight, and number of the polypeptide.

Which end is best for my research?

By default, the peptide ends with an N-terminal free amino group and a C-terminal free carboxyl group. The peptide sequence often represents the sequence of the mother protein. In order to be closer to the mother protein, the end of the peptide often needs to be closed, that is, n-terminal acetylation and C-terminal amidation. This modification avoids the introduction of excess charge, and also makes it more able to prevent exonucliase action, so that the peptide is more stable.

Which modified labeled polypeptides can be synthesized in Chinese peptide?
