Peptide Blends in Research: How Multi-Compound Studies Are Designed
Two or three peptides in one vial is a convenience for the bench and a problem for inference. How combination studies are built so results can be attributed.
Research library
Peptide research, read closely.
Plain-language, citation-backed notes on research peptides: what the preclinical and clinical literature actually shows, how compounds are verified, and how to read the data for yourself. Written for qualified researchers; nothing here is medical advice.

Net Peptide Content vs. Purity: Two Numbers, Two Different Questions
A vial can be 99% pure and 75% peptide by weight at the same time. Counter-ions, bound water and how amino-acid analysis resolves the difference.
SS-31 (Elamipretide): Mitochondrial Membrane Research Overview
How the cardiolipin-binding peptide SS-31 went from a Cornell lab to an FDA-approved drug for Barth syndrome, and what the failed trials along the way showed.
BDNF and Neurotrophic Signaling in Peptide Research
How BDNF and its receptor TrkB regulate neuronal survival and plasticity, why the pathway matters in peptide research, and where measurement goes wrong.
How Research Peptides Are Made: Solid-Phase Peptide Synthesis Explained
How a peptide is built one amino acid at a time on a resin bead, why Merrifield's method won a Nobel Prize, and where impurities enter the process.
Endotoxin Testing in Peptide Quality Control
Endotoxin is the contaminant that survives sterilization. How LAL and recombinant assays detect it, and what an endotoxin result on a COA means.
Bacteriostatic Water: What It Is and Why Labs Use It
Bacteriostatic water is sterile water with 0.9% benzyl alcohol. What that preservative does, what it does not do, and how it differs from plain sterile water.
Epithalon: Telomerase and Longevity Research Reviewed
What the Khavinson literature and one independent 2025 study show about the tetrapeptide Epithalon, telomerase and lifespan, and why the evidence is thin.
Amino Acids vs. Peptides vs. Proteins: Where the Lines Are Drawn
Amino acids, peptides and proteins form one continuum of chemistry. This note explains where the working boundaries sit and why they matter in the laboratory.
