FAQ：

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.

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℃.

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.

Why should peptides be modified by N-terminal acetylation and C-terminal amidation?
Such modifications can give peptide sequences properties that are native to proteins.
