Maximum Peptide Length

What Is the Maximum Peptide Length That LifeTein Can Produce?

LifeTein has synthesized peptides up to 169 amino acids in length, while peptides around 50 amino acids are synthesized routinely. In practice, the true limit is not just length, but the overall sequence difficulty.

What affects long peptide feasibility:
  • Hydrophobicity
  • Aggregation-prone motifs
  • Repeated or difficult residues
  • Multiple modifications
  • Purity target and final yield expectations

When length is not the only challenge

A shorter hydrophobic peptide can be more difficult than a longer, well-behaved one. Long-peptide planning should consider both length and sequence chemistry.
