Pegylated Peptide Sequences help Reduce Hydrophobic Peptide Aggreagtion.
Genosphere Biotechnologies
specializes in the production of hydrophobic peptide sequences and long
peptides by carefuly planning the synthesis routes and incorporating many
processes to overcome difficulties in the manufacturing process. While we have
good reputation for being able to produce difficult peptides, it is always best
to avoid known areas of concern when possible. For example, an overly
hydrophobic peptide sequence, even when we are able to be produced it,
generally cause production delays, increased manufacturing costs and difficulty
in future scale up. Our expert peptide chemists specialize in sequence design
that optimizes stability, solubility, and manufacturability of scale up, while
maintaining the core active region of the peptide unchanged.
While the below tips are meant to help solubility, stability and future scale up, we understand changing a peptides amino acid composition isn’t always possible. In these cases, our expert peptide chemists will optimize a custom protocol to ensure a timely, cost-effective delivery, even when challenges present themselves.
Avoiding an excessively hydrophobic peptide sequence permits usually higher yields, better chromatographic separation and thus easier purification, decreased leadtimes and lower costs for future scale-up. As a rule of thumb, a sequence that includes over 50% hydrophobic residues (A,V,L,I,M,F,W,P) is considered a hydrophobic peptide. One may try incorporating as many hydrophilic/charged residues (K,R,H,D,E) as the design will allow. While most encountered solubility issues may be overcome with the use of alternative solvents and sequence specific pH adjustments, a highly hydrophobic peptide may cause low yields and inconsistency in the hands of the scientist performing downstream laboratory experimental work.
