Handling & reference
- KPV — what changes when a peptide is only three residuesAt 389 g/mol KPV sits at the small end of peptide analysis. Counter-ion is a large mass fraction, and standard peptide QC methods behave differently.
- Selank — a tuftsin analog, and the tail it shares with SemaxSelank is tuftsin with the same Pro-Gly-Pro tail Semax carries. Two compounds, one structural idea, and no methionine to worry about.
- Thymosin Alpha-1 — identity and the clinical literatureA 28-residue N-acetylated thymic peptide with more clinical literature behind it than almost any compound in this market. Identity data and what the studies covered.
