FAQ：

What are peptides?

Peptides are short chain molecules formed by amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. They typically consist of 2 to 70 amino acids.

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.

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.

I need a cyclic peptide, which contains a tryptophan, will it be oxidized?

The oxidation of tryptophan is a common phenomenon in peptide oxidation, and peptides are usually cyclized before purification. If the oxidation of tryptophan occurs, the retention time of the peptide on the HPLC column will change, and the oxidation can be removed by purification. Furthermore, oxidized peptides can also be detected by MS.

How to choose the salt form of peptides?

The choice of the salt form of peptides needs to consider various factors, including the peptide sequence, stability, solubility, biotoxicity, and specific experimental requirements. By default, peptides are generally delivered as trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) salts; in addition, peptides can also exist in forms such as acetate, ammonium, and sodium salts.
