What this path covers

  • Understand what peptides are and how they differ from proteins and free amino acids.
  • Read the analytical data that establishes identity and purity for a research lot.
  • Follow how purity is measured by HPLC-UV and confirmed by mass spectrometry.
  • Understand what the research-use classification covers and what it excludes.
  • Judge a published peptide claim against the study design behind it.
