Our Peptide C-Terminal Modification Services

Amidation Modification

The modification replaces the carboxyl group at the peptide's C-terminal with an amide group to improve peptide stability and extend its effect duration. The peptide drug development field frequently utilizes this method.

The C-terminal of peptides can be tagged with biotin which enables specific interactions with avidin or streptavidin to facilitate capture, separation, and detection. The technique enables biomedical research to investigate how peptides function physiologically and understand their underlying mechanisms.

Researchers apply fluorescent dyes or groups to peptide C-terminals to track their distribution, metabolism and interactions effectively within the body. This approach finds frequent application in cell imaging as well as fluorescence resonance energy transfer methodologies among other areas.

Phosphorylation Modification

The addition of phosphate groups to certain amino acid residues at peptide C-termini controls biological functions by influencing receptor binding and cell signal transduction as well as protein interactions. Researchers use this process to study cell signaling pathways.

PEGylation Modification

The process of attaching polyethylene glycol (PEG) molecules to peptide C-termini serves multiple purposes such as enhancing water solubility and stability and prolonging circulation half-life while reducing immunogenicity and non-specific binding and decreasing renal clearance.

Disulfide Bond Formation

Peptides achieve their three-dimensional structure through disulfide bonds that form between their C-terminal and other cysteine residues which enhance thermal stability, chemical stability and biological activity. This method works well with peptides that need precise structural shapes.

Peptides utilize stable isotopes like 13C and 15N which bond to amino acids or chemical groups at their peptide C-terminal. Scientists use this approach to investigate metabolic pathways of peptides as well as protein synthesis and degradation kinetics and to analyze biomolecular interactions and internal standards for mass spectrometry analysis.

Small Molecule Modification

Peptides have small biological molecules linked to their C-terminal end which confer new properties or strengthen existing ones including targeting capability or enzyme blocking functions. The technology enables the development of new peptide-based pharmaceuticals.

Protein carriers like bovine serum albumin (BSA) or keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) are connected to peptides at their C-terminal to boost immunogenicity which triggers the production of specific antibodies by the body. This process is frequently employed during vaccine development, antibody production and immunoassay procedures.
