Your need: analyse and understand peptide sequences to optimise your biopharmaceutical processes
In the development of biopharmaceutical products, understanding the peptide sequence is essential to guarantee product quality and treatment efficacy. Our expertise meets your most exacting requirements, integrating tailor-made solutions.
What is peptide sequencing?
Peptide sequencing is an essential step in the analysis of peptides and complex biomolecules. It enables the exact order of amino acids within a peptide chain to be determined, providing key information for pharmaceutical research, biotechnology and the food industry.
Peptide sequencing stages
From the precise determination of the sequence to the study of specific modifications, each phase offers information to better understand and exploit peptides in your processes.
- Sequence determination: identify the precise amino acid sequence of a peptide using advanced techniques such as Mass Spectrometry (MS/MS).
- Analysis and encoding: obtaining and encoding the sequence for functional studies or peptide production.
- Cleavage and modification: studying signal sequences or specific regions to identify critical modifications or active sites.
Why carry out peptide sequencing?
This method provides an in-depth understanding of peptide structure and function, enabling the development of innovative and reliable therapeutic solutions. Here are the main reasons for carrying out peptide sequencing:
Precise characterization: to determine the sequence and structural properties of a peptide.
- Quality control: compare sequences to detect variations, impurities or contamination.
- Biomedicine development: optimising therapeutic peptides by analysing critical sequences.
- Fundamental research: understanding the evolution and interactions of peptides in different biological contexts.
