Description

Decaglycine is a synthetic oligopeptide consisting of ten glycine amino acid residues, identified by CAS NO 76960-32-2. This high-purity peptide building block is essential for advanced research and development in life sciences, offering a defined molecular structure for creating complex biomaterials and studying protein interactions. It is primarily utilized by pharmaceutical researchers, biochemists, and material scientists working on peptide synthesis, biochemical assays, and the development of novel biomimetic polymers.

Application

• Peptide Synthesis & Research: Serves as a fundamental building block or spacer arm in solid-phase and solution-phase synthesis of longer, more complex peptides.
• Biochemical & Biophysical Studies: Used as a model compound to study protein folding, aggregation, and the physical properties of polyglycine sequences.
• Biomaterial Development: Incorporated into hydrogels, scaffolds, and coatings to impart specific mechanical properties or biocompatibility for tissue engineering.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Acts as a key intermediate in the development of peptide-based active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and diagnostic agents.
• Surface Modification: Utilized to functionalize surfaces for biosensor applications or to create non-fouling coatings due to glycine's hydrophilic nature.
• Standards & Calibration: Employed as a high-purity standard in analytical methods such as mass spectrometry and chromatography for system calibration and method validation.

Quality Control

Every batch of Decaglycine is manufactured under strict quality management systems and undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, which includes data from HPLC, MS, and NMR analyses. Our quality commitment aligns with cGMP principles for pharmaceutical intermediates, ensuring reliability for critical research and development applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept under dry conditions to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider desiccated conditions at -20°C.
