LifeTein®, the custom peptide synthesis service company, has developed proprietary PeptideSynTM technology. This technology provides a platform for continuous peptide synthesis using Fmoc and Boc chemistry and a proprietary solid support resin. This is one of the many reasons why LifeTein® can offer competitive custom peptide synthesis prices.

169 amio acid long peptide

LifeTein routinely uses our proprietary technologies to produce peptides >100 amino acids. The longest peptide we have made to date is 169 amino acids. You will not be charged if we are unable to synthesize your peptide successfully. We promise to provide the HPLC purified peptide with correct molecular weight analyzed by Electrospray ionization (ESI) Mass Spectrometry. The Net Peptide Content is not tested or guaranteed.

Cell-penetrating Peptide Synthesis

The process of introducing drugs into cells has always proved to be a major challenge for scientists. However, cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) have the ability to enter a cell through the plasma membrane independent of a membrane receptor. They are usually small peptides 10–30 residues in length.

Peptide Synthesis Case Studies

Incomplete deprotection and amino acid-coupling reactions can complicate certain processes. Longer reaction times and the use of increased strength reagent could solve this problem. However, in some extreme cases, these methods are insufficient and the protecting group cannot be removed efficiently. In addition, the side chains of some sequences render them prone to self-association by hydrogen bonding. This leads to aggregation and the formation of beta-sheet-like secondary structures that can halt peptide synthesis.

LifeTein's optimized protocol and PeptideSyn technology provide a method for circumventing the problems associated with difficult sequences. This technology can change peptide structure by protecting some of the peptide amide bonds, giving rise to peptides that contain tertiary amides at specific intervals. This leads to better preservation of the peptide chain, and more efficient deprotection and coupling reactions.

Case 1: Solid-phase synthesis of a peptide with four phosphorylation sites.

A 14 amino acid peptide (molecular weight: 1981.53) with four phosphorylation sites was synthesized at 95% purity and delivered in 3 weeks: xxxpSpTxxxpSxxxpTx

HPLC Results:

Peptide synthesis: Phosphorylation-HPLC

MS Results:

Peptide synthesis: Phosphorylation-MS

Case 2: Long peptide synthesis is always difficult and challenging. Recently, a 169-amino-acid peptide was successfully synthesized in 4 weeks. The following case is a very hydrophobic 68 amino acid peptide (85% purity) with a FITC modification at the N terminus. The peptide was successfully synthesized in 4 weeks.
