Synthetic Peptide Impurities

Meaning

Synthetic peptide impurities refer to any unintended chemical entities present within a batch of laboratory-synthesized peptides, deviating from the desired amino acid sequence or structure. These unwanted byproducts can include truncated sequences, deletions, insertions, substitutions of amino acids, or post-translational modifications that occurred incorrectly during the chemical synthesis process. Their presence signifies a deviation from the pure, intended therapeutic agent.
