Recognising the growing need for quality, on demand peptide solutions, AnaSpec has introduced a series of research-ready plant peptides called phytochelatins
Because the availability of plant-related catalogue peptides has traditionally been minimal to non-existent, the only way to obtain synthetic plant peptides has been through a significant investment in custom peptide services.
Recognising the growing need for quality, on demand peptide solutions, AnaSpec has introduced a series of research-ready plant peptides called phytochelatins.
With one of the largest collections of catalogue peptides on the planet, this introduction makes AnaSpec one of the world's leading providers of catalog phytochelatin peptides.
Phytochelatins (PCs), a name coined by E Grill et al, belong to a class of heavy metal-detoxifying peptides.
These glutathione derived peptides chelate heavy metals such as Cd, Zn, Cu and Pb and have a general formula of (gamma-Glu-Cys)n-Gly, where n=2-11.
Repeating units is dependent on the concentration and duration of metal exposure.
AnaSpec currently offers phytochelatins PC2 through PC6.
AnaSpec also offers Biotinylated and HiLyte Fluor 488-labeled (Abs/Em=498/525nm) PC2 to PC4.
