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 (epitope) tag sequences are attached to proteins to facilitate easy detection and purification of expressed proteins.
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 synthesis: 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.
Peptide Synthesis: design and structure
In this article we detail some of the design considerations we use in peptides synthesis. This article is available to view here.
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.
