What is peptide customization

Peptide customization generally refers to a service of artificially synthesizing peptides. It refers to peptide synthesis services that meet specific customer needs, such as sequence, purity, molecular weight, etc. The molecular weight of crude MS is confirmed by mass spectrometry, and then the crude product is purified by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to obtain excellent peptides.

According to different experiments, different peptide purities can be selected. In principle, the higher the purity, the higher the price. Peptides are compounds formed by the binding of alpha amino acids to peptide bonds, and are also intermediate products of protein hydrolysis.

Difference: Generally, the number of amino acids in peptides ranges from 2 to 9. Peptides have many different names based on the number of amino acids in them: compounds formed by dehydration and condensation of two amino acid molecules are called dipeptides, such as tripeptides, tetrapeptides, pentapeptides, etc.

Long chain compounds refer to various compounds with certain physiological activities in biological organisms, which can be extracted from animal tissues or artificially synthesized. Protein is a long-chain peptide formed by various amino acids in a certain order through peptide bonds, which are cross-linked through multiple secondary bonds to form polymer compounds. Proteins have a complex four stage structure.
