Scientific Background | Cys-YNKDQFDGWLYEISRKQAQQN is a 24-residue synthetic peptide with the sequence Cys-Tyr-Ser-Tyr-Asn-Lys-Asp-Gln-Phe-Asp-Gly-Trp-Leu-Tyr-Glu-Ile-Ser-Arg-Lys-Gln-Ala-Gln-Gln-Asn. The sequence contains 1 cysteine residue, which can support thiol-selective conjugation or disulfide chemistry when the thiol is available; is enriched in basic residues (2 Lys and 1 Arg), contributing cationic character under many aqueous conditions; contains 5 aromatic residues (Phe/Trp/Tyr), which can contribute to hydrophobic or aromatic interactions. No specific receptor, enzyme, pathway, disease association, or biological activity is assigned without product-specific experimental evidence. |
Experimental Notes | Sequence-derived chemical properties are provided to support reagent selection and experimental planning. They do not establish a biological function. Solubility, aggregation, adsorption, conjugation efficiency, and assay performance should be validated under the intended experimental conditions. |
