PHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES

Aliphatic index:            67.7
ε280 (oxidized cystines):   5500 M⁻¹·cm⁻¹
ε280 (reduced):             5500 M⁻¹·cm⁻¹
A280 per mg/mL:             3.4379
Aromatic residues (W/Y/F):  1
Charged residues:           4

----------------------------------------------------------------------
RECOMMENDED SYNTHESIS
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Method:        Solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS)
Strategy:      Fmoc-SPPS, standard side-chain protecting groups
Target purity: ≥ 98.0% by analytical RP-HPLC

Rationale:
  Sequence is short enough for cost-effective Fmoc-SPPS on Wang or Rink-amide resin. Single-coupling for most residues; double-couple any β-branched or aromatic stretches.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
RECOMMENDED MODIFICATIONS
----------------------------------------------------------------------
  • None recommended — start with linear, unmodified peptide

Rationale:
  Short, soluble linear peptide with reasonable predicted stability. Iterate to modifications only if SAR shows potency or stability gaps.

QC RELEASE PANEL — REQUIRED FROM COMPOUNDING LAB
----------------------------------------------------------------------
  1. Analytical RP-HPLC (≥ purity target, single peak ≥ 95% area)
  2. ESI-MS or MALDI-TOF (monoisotopic mass within ±1 Da of theoretical)
  3. Amino-acid composition (within ±5% of theoretical)
  4. Residual TFA / scavenger by ¹⁹F-NMR or ion-pair HPLC (≤ 0.05% w/w)
  5. Endotoxin (LAL test, ≤ 1 EU/mg recommended for cell-culture use)
  6. Karl-Fischer water content (≤ 5%)

----------------------------------------------------------------------
STORAGE
----------------------------------------------------------------------
  Lyophilized powder, sealed under argon or nitrogen, in amber vial: −80 °C for long-term (>3 months) or −20 °C for working stock (<3 months). Avoid repeated freeze-thaw.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
RECONSTITUTION (RESEARCH USE ONLY)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
  Reconstitute in sterile bacteriostatic water (0.9% benzyl alcohol) at 1 mg/mL working stock. Aliquot single-use volumes to minimize freeze-thaw. Use within 24 h once thawed; ≤ 30 days at +4 °C in solution.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
DESIGN NOTES
----------------------------------------------------------------------
  • Methionine present — degas all buffers; methionine oxidation during long-term storage is the most common purity loss.

DISCLAIMERS
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This document is a research-use-only design specification.
It is NOT a prescription, NOT a recommendation for human or
animal use, NOT an approved drug, and NOT a guarantee of
biological activity. The peptide described is a Phase 4
computational prediction, not an experimentally validated
molecule. The compounding lab is responsible for compliance
with all applicable regulations in its jurisdiction.

All designs by Peptide RX carry a Peptide Design Attestation
(PDA) cryptographic envelope hash (above) that binds the
design to the exact pipeline, model versions, and
biosecurity policy used at design time. A verifier
recomputing the PDA with different weights or a different
policy will diverge — this is the platform's tamper-
evidence guarantee.
