What is Peptide and Peptide Synthesis？

What is a Peptide?

Peptides are a class of compounds with a molecular structure between amino acids and proteins, which are formed by binding one or more amino acids through peptide bonds in a certain order. Peptides are structural fragments that constitute proteins, as well as active groups that play a role in proteins.

Studying the relationship between the structure and function of peptides is helpful to understand the efficacy of various amino acid series in peptides, so as to design peptides as short as possible in application while improving their physiological activity and reducing clinical adverse reactions. The application of peptides focuses on peptide drugs & drug carriers, tissue engineering materials, peptide nutritional foods.

What is Peptide Synthesis?

The synthesis of peptides can be divided into two main pathways: chemical synthesis and biosynthesis. Omizzur is engaged in chemical synthesis, mainly in the form of condensation between amino acids. The chemical synthesis of peptides can be divided into liquid / solid phase synthesis. 

Custom peptide synthesis : according to the peptide sequence required by clients, Omizzur synthesizes high quality research-grade peptides on time. We need to know your product structure or sequence, the required quantity. In this process: we will sign a non-disclosure agreement to ensure the privacy of your company.

When Omizzur receive an order for peptide synthesis, we will analyze the sequences of peptides to determine whether difficult to synthesize or exist water solubility problem. For some peptides with special sequences, our peptide specialist will give clients reasonable suggestions after careful analysis and research.These suggestions include peptide sequence optimization, etc. to meet the customer's requirements finally.

We list the types of peptide problems and ways to reduce or overcome them for customers' reference. Only through consultation with our technical experts, the design scheme of peptides can be finally determined.

Length is important

Generally speaking, the longer the peptide chain, the lower the purity of the crude peptide. Most peptides containing less than 50 amino residues are easier to synthesize. Reducing the length of peptide to less than 20 residues can achieve ideal results in most situations.
