5 Common Questions About Synthetic Peptides
Synthesized peptides are extensively used in hormonal treatments, anti-bacterial treatments, cosmetic products, and more. A cysteine-containing peptide , for instance, is helpful to increase energy and promote better sleep. Here we have shared answers to frequently asked questions about Cys-containing peptides. How Should You Store Peptides? Peptides should be stored in the deep freezer with a temperature of less than -15°C, particularly for long-term storage, because some peptides, such as a cysteine-containing peptide, begin to degrade at room temperature. Peptides, generally, remain potent for several weeks when stored at -20°C or -80°C. For short-term storage, +4°C is the best temperature to keep peptides from degrading. It’s best to protect peptides from direct sunlight. Do peptides dissolve in water? As peptides have varying solubility properties, some peptides may not readily dissolve in water like others. Peptides that contain hydrophobic or nonpolar residues in a high percent
