Why your GLP-1 peptide degrades before your assay does
Why your GLP-1 peptide degrades before your assay does

What it is GLP-1 analogs are short, alpha-helical peptides that degrade in solution via pH-driven deamidation, oxidation, and freeze-thaw damage. Their stability depends on storage pH, temperature, oxygen exposure, and... Read more...
