FAQ：

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.

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.

What do I need to pay attention to when introducing fluorescent modifications into peptides?
It is recommended to add a linker between the peptide molecule and the fluorescent modification, which can reduce the effect of the fluorescent modification on the peptide folding and binding to the receptor. However, if the purpose of the fluorescence modification is to quantify the fluorescence migration between different structures, the introduction of a linker is not recommended.

Were the peptides containing Cys reduced before shipment?

If the peptide is not found to have been oxidized, we generally do not reduce Cys. All polypeptides are obtained from crude products purified and lyophilized under pH2 conditions, which at least to some extent prevent the oxidation of Cys. Peptides containing Cys are purified at pH2 unless there is a specific reason to purify at pH6.8. If purification is performed at pH6.8, the purified product must be treated with acid immediately to prevent oxidation. In the final quality control step, for the peptides containing Cys, if the presence of molecular weight (2P+H) substance is found on the MS map, it indicates that a dimer has been formed. If there is no problem with MS and HPLC, we will directly lyophilize and ship the goods without any further processing. It should be noted that peptides containing Cys undergo slow oxidation over time, and the degree of oxidation depends on peptide sequence and storage conditions.
