Endotoxin Substrate/Synthetic peptide/Peptide supplier

Description

Boc-Leu-Gly-Arg-PNA is an endotoxin substrate that can be used to quantitatively determine endotoxin content in samples. This compound is a key component in the Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) endotoxin detection method, and its mechanism involves enzymatic cleavage to release p-nitroaniline (pNA), allowing endotoxin levels to be measured colorimetrically.

FAQ：

What are the best preservation conditions? How stable is the peptide?

After lyophilized, polypeptide can form fluff or flocculant powder, which can avoid premature degradation of polypeptide. Recommended storage conditions: a. -20℃ storage or dry environment b. Try to avoid repeated freeze-thaw c. Try to avoid storage in solution state (freeze-dried powder can be stored in separate packages for convenience of use) d. If it must be stored in solution, it is recommended to dissolve the peptides in sterile water under weakly acidic conditions and store at -20℃.

What length of peptide is appropriate?
Peptide synthesis needs to consider factors such as the length, charge, and hydrophilicity of the peptide. The longer the length, the purity and yield of the crude synthetic product decrease, and the difficulty of purification and the chance of non-synthesis will be greater. Of course, the sequence of the functional region of the polypeptide cannot be changed, but for the smooth synthesis of the polypeptide, sometimes some auxiliary amino acids have to be added to the upstream and downstream of the functional take to improve the solubility and hydrophilicity of the polypeptide. If the polypeptide is too short, there may also be problems with synthesis, the main problem is that the synthetic polypeptide has a certain difficulty in the post-processing process, and the polypeptide below 5 peptides generally has hydrophobic amino acids, otherwise the post-processing is more difficult. Peptides below 15 amino acid residues generally have satisfactory yields and yields.

What do I need to look for when designing phosphorylated peptides?

When designing phosphorylation modifications, the phosphorylation modifications should not be more than 10 amino acids away from the N-terminus to avoid a decrease in coupling efficiency.

What is the role of peptides in skincare products? 

Peptides have various functions in skincare products, including:

Moisturizing: Peptides can help the skin retain moisture and increase skin hydration.

Anti-aging: Peptides can stimulate collagen production, reduce wrinkles, and improve skin elasticity.

Whitening: Some peptides can inhibit melanin production and lighten spots.

Repair: Peptides can promote cell metabolism and help repair damaged skin.

If you want to do a biotin modification at the N terminal, do you need to put a gap between the biotin and the peptide sequence?

The standard biotin labeling procedure used by our company is to attach an Ahx to the peptide chain, followed by biotin. Ahx is a 6-carbon compound that acts as a barrier between the peptide and the biotin.
