PPKR/Tetrapeptide PPKR/103745-46-6/Peptide synthesis

Description

As a short peptide containing proline, lysine and arginine, the tetrapeptide ppkr (Pro Pro Lys ARG) is mainly used in the basic experimental research of protein interaction, enzymatic mechanism, cell signaling pathway and other directions in the field of Biochemistry due to the particularity of amino acid composition (including basic amino acids Lys, Arg, and Pro with conformational restriction). At present, it is a scientific research application and does not involve clinical or industrial scenarios.

FAQ：

What are the uses of peptides?

Peptides have a wide range of applications in the biomedical field, including:

Drug development: Peptides can be used as lead compounds for drugs or directly as drugs themselves.

Vaccines: Peptides can be used as antigens for vaccine preparation.

Biomaterials: Peptides can be used to construct biomaterials, such as scaffolds for tissue engineering.

Diagnostic reagents: Peptides can be used in the development of diagnostic reagents, such as those for detecting disease-related proteins.

Cosmetics: Certain peptides have moisturizing, anti-aging, and whitening effects and can be added to cosmetics.

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.
