AnaSpec Offers PEGylated Amino Acids

San Jose, CA, January 22, 2011 --(PR.com)-- AnaSpec, Eurogentec Group, is pleased to highlight their wide collection of Fmoc- and Boc-protected PEGylated amino acids for PEGylated peptides synthesis. PEGylation has become a well-accepted method for the delivery of biopharmaceuticals-especially peptide and protein drugs.1-4 Simple modification of a drug with polyethylene glycol (PEG) not only is capable of improving the drug’s solubility, diminishing the potential for aggregation, and minimizing interference for both in vitro and in vivo applications, but is also able to protect it from proteolytic digestion, increasing its half-life in biological applications in the process.1-4 Custom synthesis of PEGylated peptides is available through AnaSpec’s Fremont, California facilities.
