What is the minimum quantity for one order?

发布时间:2017-01-14
The minimumal quantity to be ordered should be at leastis 1 mg. At Royobiotech Co.,Ltd, There there is no maximum upper limit at Royobiotech Co.,Ltd for research and or GMP peptides. 

 
What is the maximum peptide length that Royobiotech Co.,Ltdcan produce?

Royobiotech Co.,Ltd has synthesized a peptide of 120 amino acids in length. Peptides of 50 amino acids are synthesized routinely.
 

What is solid-phase synthesis?

Organic reactions are carried out on substrates covalently attached to a polymeric resin. Solid-phase synthesis can be better than the traditional synthesis because the overall reaction takes place much more quickly, the process can be automated with robots, and synthetic intermediates do not need to be isolated because reagents are washed away during each step.
 

What are resins and linkers?
Resin is the polymeric backbone to which substrates are anchored. Different resins have different properties. For example, polystyrene swells in non-polar solvents, while polyethylene glycol swells in polar and non-polar solvents. Linkers are intermediate structures that attack the resin to the substrate. Different linkers can be used to unmask different functional groups on the substrate. 

 
What is a protecting group?
Protecting groups are fragments that binds to functional groups and blocks their reactivity. Some are acid-labile protecting groups such as Boc and tert-Bu ester. Some are base labile protecting groups such as Fmoc and Fm ester. Some others are fluoride-labile protecting groups such as Tmsec and Tmse ester. To ensure specific coupling between the required carboxyl and amino groups, the protecting groups should be easy to attach and remove without changing the rest of the peptide.
 

 
What are acetylation and amidation?

Chemically synthesized peptides carry free amino and carboxy termini. The need for N-terminal acetylation or C-terminal amidation must be stated explicitly during ordering. It is impossible to perform these modifications after synthesis has been completed.

N-terminal acetylation and C-terminal amidation reduce the overall charge of a peptide and decrease solubility. However the stability of the peptide usually increases because the terminal acetylation and amidation allow the peptide to mimic the native protein more closely. In this way, these modifications may increase the peptide's biological activity.
