Scientific Background | VYDFAFRDLCIVYRD is a 15-residue synthetic peptide with the sequence Val-Tyr-Asp-Phe-Ala-Phe-Arg-Asp-Leu-Cys-Ile-Val-Tyr-Arg-Asp. The sequence contains 1 cysteine residue, allowing thiol/disulfide chemistry when available; contains 3 Asp and 0 Glu residues, contributing anionic character near neutral pH; contains 4 aromatic residues; has a relatively high hydrophobic-residue fraction that can influence aqueous solubility and surface adsorption. These sequence-derived properties describe the reagent chemically; no specific biological activity is assigned without product-specific experimental evidence. |
Experimental Notes | Sequence-derived chemical properties support reagent selection and experimental planning but do not establish biological function. Solubility, aggregation, adsorption, conjugation efficiency, and assay performance should be validated under the intended conditions. |
