Peptide Disulfide Bond Scrambling During Storage at Alkaline pH
Learn how peptide disulfide bond scrambling occurs during storage at alkaline pH through thiol-disulfide exchange, and how to detect non-native cystine bridges.
Learn how peptide disulfide bond scrambling occurs during storage at alkaline pH through thiol-disulfide exchange, and how to detect non-native cystine bridges.
Learn how methionine sulfoxidation and sulfone formation degrade reconstituted peptides through trace peroxide exposure from irradiated vials and storage.
Learn how pyroglutamate formation occurs in reconstituted peptides through N-terminal glutamine and glutamate cyclization, causing mass loss and reduced bioactivity.
Learn how peptide cysteine thiol alkylation occurs when electrophilic leachables from butyl rubber stoppers and residual reagents react with free thiol groups during storage.
Learn how peptide adsorptive surface losses to glass and plastic containers deplete 30-80% of free peptide at low concentrations, causing underdosing artifacts.
