Introduction to Peptides

Peptides vs. Proteins

The distinction between peptides and proteins by chain length and structure.

Peptide Bonds

Peptide Synthesis

How research peptides are synthesized using solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS).

Peptide Purity

The following categories illustrate commonly referenced purity ranges and their typical research applications.

Peptide Purification

This article outlines key concepts related to peptide purification, including purification strategies used during peptide synthesis, common purification methodologies, and the types of impurities that

Peptide Solubility

When evaluating peptide solubility, researchers should begin by testing a small quantity of peptide to avoid unnecessary loss of material. Peptides should be allowed to equilibrate to room temperature

Peptide Storage

Repeated freeze–thaw cycles should be avoided whenever possible, as they increase the risk of peptide degradation. Frost-free freezers are also not ideal for peptide storage due to temperature fluctua
