HIV-1 TAT (48-60)/220408-24-2/Peptide synthesisCatalog

Description

HIV-1 TAT (48-60) is an alkaline cell penetrating peptide derived from amino acid residues 48-60 of the HIV-1 virus Tat protein. Its core feature is that it is rich in positively charged residues such as arginine and lysine, retaining the key transmembrane delivery and nuclear localization activity of the full-length Tat protein, and has better safety (removing some pathogenic domains from the full-length protein).

FAQ：

Is it necessary to put a gap between the peptide and the dye?

If you are going to attach a large molecule (such as a dye) to the peptide, it is best to put a space between the peptide and the ligand to minimize interference with the receptor by the folding of the peptide itself or by the folding of its conjugate. Others do not want intervals. For example, in the folding of proteins, it is possible to determine how far apart the folding structure of an amino acid is by attaching a fluorescent dye to a particular site.

What is net weight? What is peptide content?

After lyophilized peptide is generally fluffy and fluff-like, it may still contain trace amounts of water, adsorbed solvents and salts due to the characteristics of peptide itself. This does not mean that the purity of the peptide is not enough, but that the actual content of the peptide is reduced by 10% to 30%. The net weight of the peptide is the actual weight of the peptide minus the water and protonated ions. In order to ensure the concentration of peptide, the non-peptide substances need to be removed from the crude peptide.

How do you determine if a peptide is looped?

We use the Ellman reaction to test whether the ring formation is complete. If the Ellman test is positive (yellow), the ring reaction is incomplete. If the test results are negative (not yellow), the ring reaction has been complete. We do not provide the analysis report of cyclization identification for our clients. Generally, there will be a description of Ellman's test results in the QC report.

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.

How pure can the peptide be?

Our company can provide different purity levels for customers to choose from, from crude to > 99.9% purity. According to customer needs we can provide purity > 99.9% ultra-pure polypeptide.
