Influenza virus peptides
Although there are ways to combat influenza viruses, they have evolved to mutate frequently in order to evade the host’s immune system.
Case study: Method development for the amino acid analysis of a complex material.
This case study highlights the work performed by our scientists to overcome the challenges in the development of this adapted amino acid analysis method.
Amino acid analysis methods review: Post column detection method compared to Kjeldahl and Dumas methods
We discuss three methods widely used for the acquisition of protein content in food products. Methods are briefly explained and the advantages and disadvantages of each explored.
Protein and peptide tags
Protein and peptide (epitope) tag sequences are attached to proteins to facilitate easy detection and purification of expressed proteins.
Total and free amino acid analysis
Total amino acids analysis determines the amino acids which are bound in proteins as well as those amino acids that may be present as individual unbound units.
Amino acid analysis: For accurate quantification of protein and amino acid content
Amino acid analysis is the most accurate way to determine the composition and quantity of protein in a sample.
Peptides for Raising Antibodies
In this article, we discuss methods for generating custom antibodies using peptide antigens including peptide antigen design considerations and options for generating antigenic peptides. In general, synthetic peptides are too small to elicit an immunogenic response.
Peptide solubility and storage
This article is the 3rd in a series on the synthesis of peptides. It looks at solubilising peptides and peptide storage. Peptides are supplied as lyophilised materials, which are regarded as stable compounds for shipping purposes.
Peptide purification and product analysis
Our instrumentation allows for single batch synthesis of up to 576 small scale peptides in one operation, as well as individual peptides in multigram amounts.
Design considerations in the synthesis of peptides
In this article we detail some of the design considerations we use in peptides synthesis. This article is available to view here.
