Influenza virus peptides

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.

Protein and peptide tags

Protein and peptide tags

Protein and peptide (epitope) tag sequences are attached to proteins to facilitate easy detection and purification of expressed proteins.

Peptide solubility and storage

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.

Spotlight on Exenatide peptide

Spotlight on Exenatide peptide

Exenatide is a synthetic 39-amino acid peptide used in the treatment of insulin-treated type 2 diabetes. This GLP-1 analogue is resistant to enzymatic degradation unlike the human Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) peptide.

Lysine Analysis of Animal Feed

We explore the importance of lysine in diets for the health and performance of animals. We also look at why the quantification of lysine with amino acid analysis can help feed manufacturers develop feed ingredients that are optimal for livestock and kinder to the environment.

Cell Culture Media Analysis

Cell culture is an important tool in cellular and molecular biology, as it can be used to study the behaviour of specific cell types in a controlled environment for drug screening and development, and disease modelling.

Hydroxyproline Analysis

Our method of post-column detection quantifies hydroxyproline content without interference from the sample matrix.
