Custom Peptide Synthesis Blog

The world is progressing and it is progressing rapid and fast. To speed up the process of  peptide synthesis  MIT researchers have designed a new machine that can rapidly produce large quantities of custom peptides. Producing small proteins known as peptides is usually a very time-consuming process, which has sluggish the development of new peptide drugs for diseases like cancer, diabetes, and bacterial infection. The new tabletop machine designed by MIT researchers can form links between amino acids (building block of proteins) in about just 37 seconds, and it takes less than an hour to produce complete peptide molecules containing nearly 60 amino acids. “You can dial in whatever amino acids you want, and the machine starts printing off these peptides faster than any machine in the world,” says Bradley Pentelute, the Pfizer-Laubach Career Development Associate Professor of Chemistry at MIT. This technology, therefore, could help researchers quickly generate ne...

Peptide purification is indeed necessary to get quality peptides for research. Most of the  peptide synthesis services  purify the products using reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPCL). However, sometimes some other methods like ion exchange or gel filtration chromatography too are used. Custom peptides that are difficult to produce will require special services. When placing an order for synthesized peptides it is obvious that customers request the highest purity that  peptide synthesis service  offers. It is always better to use reagents that are free from impurities. However, sometimes using the less pure sample is effective in cost terms for those experiments which don’t require ultra-pure peptides. Peptide synthesis service providers almost invariably offer more than three levels of purity labeled as X%. What are the differences and what purities are best in various experiments? Lower levels of purity Generally, the level of purit...
