Amino-acid sequence, laboratory definition
A sequence is the order of amino-acid residues, written from the N-terminus in one-letter or three-letter code. Some catalogue pages state that string. Epithalon is listed as Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly. BPC-157 is listed as GEPPPGKPADDAGLV, a 15-residue chain, on the pentadecapeptide term and in What is BPC-157?. Those strings are catalogue identity text.
A sequence on a web page is not a mass spectrum. Identity work compares an observed mass with a mass calculated from the sequence and the species the report names. For the structure note, see peptide structure and stability. For the shop URLs, see Epithalon 10 mg and BPC-157 10 mg. Research use only.
Frequently asked questions
- Does the shop title replace the sequence?
- No. A product name is a catalogue label. Use the residue string the page or the lot file actually prints.
- Is a published sequence the result for every later lot?
- No. The string tells you what the calculation should start from. The lot file is what you compare with the vial you received.
