Peptide Synthesis
In recent years, peptide research has seen exceptional growth across medicine, biotechnology, chemical biology, and therapeutic discovery. Peptide therapeutics offer highly selective mechanisms of action and closely mimic natural biochemical pathways — resulting in excellent safety and efficacy profiles. As a result, both industry and academia are renewing their interest in peptide-based therapies.
The future of peptide R&D looks very strong. Regulatory approvals for peptide drugs continue to grow, with 60+ approved peptide-based therapeutics already available across North America, Europe, and Asia–Pacific, and 150+ peptide candidates currently in clinical trials. The global peptide therapeutics market is estimated at ~US $24 billion and rising rapidly.
Peptides function as potent signaling molecules and support R&D in key therapeutic areas including metabolic diseases, oncology, infectious diseases, and inflammatory disorders. While traditional peptide drug development faced challenges such as short plasma half-life and poor oral bioavailability, modern design strategies (structure modifications, half-life extension, secondary structure optimization, etc.) are overcoming these barriers and unlocking new therapeutic opportunities.
Beyond therapeutics, natural and synthetic peptides are widely used in drug discovery, epitope mapping, vaccine development, and chemical biology applications.
Our Peptide Capabilities
Fluorescent Dye Conjugation
Fluorescently labeled peptides are powerful tools for probing biological systems. We provide custom conjugation services using a range of dyes, including:
| Dye | Key Features |
|---|---|
| BODIPY FL | Bright green fluorescent dye; high quantum yield; ideal for lipid/membrane staining due to hydrophobicity. |
| Fluorescein (FITC) | Water-soluble; widely used for protein and peptide labeling. |
| Cyanine 3 (CY3) | Water-soluble dye suitable for diverse imaging and detection applications. |
We also offer ready-to-use BODIPY FL conjugated antibodies, peptides, proteins, and tracers, along with reactive dye forms and labeling kits, enabling customers to generate their own labeled biomolecules with ease.
