All Research Articles2025 Peptide Research Roundup: New Findings Across the Compounds We Stock
A research-focused summary of recently published literature across the compounds in our catalog, from large late-stage GLP-1 programs to preclinical work on regenerative and mitochondrial peptides, with primary sources cited throughout.
How Synthetic Peptides Are Made: A Plain-Language Guide to SPPS
Modern synthetic peptides are commonly assembled one amino acid at a time on a solid support. Here is what each stage contributes, and where impurities can arise.
What Are Peptides? A Clear Introduction to Peptide Chemistry
A peptide is not defined by the name on the container. It is a specific amino-acid sequence with measurable properties shaped by synthesis, purification, handling, and storage.
Peptide Modifications Explained: N-Termini, C-Termini, and Modified Amino Acids
Two materials can share the same amino-acid sequence and still be different molecules. Terminal groups, side-chain modifications, stereochemistry, and disulfide bonds all change what you are measuring.
ARA-290 and the Innate Repair Receptor: A Disputed Mechanism
Erythropoietin was proposed in 2004 to act through a second receptor complex, and ARA-290 was characterized against that proposal. A later study tested the complex directly and did not find it. This overview sets out what each paper reports.
