Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis (SPPS) explained
Solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) is a technique for peptide synthesis. It can be defined as a process in which a peptide anchored by its C-terminus to an insoluble polymer is assembled by the successive addition of the protected amino acids constituting its...
What are Amino Acids?
What are amino acids? Amino Acids are the organic compounds and the building blocks of peptides and proteins. The Structure of Amino Acids An α-amino acid contains four different substituents which are attached to a central carbon atom (the α-C atom): the acid group...
