Scientific Background | RTWKHYYCVQKPLRTSC is a 17-residue synthetic peptide with the sequence Arg-Thr-Trp-Lys-His-Tyr-Tyr-Cys-Val-Gln-Lys-Pro-Leu-Arg-Thr-Ser-Cys. The sequence contains 2 cysteine residues, which can support thiol-selective conjugation or disulfide chemistry when the thiol is available; is enriched in basic residues (2 Lys and 2 Arg), contributing cationic character under many aqueous conditions; contains 3 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. |
