Although Bachem offers a large number of different research grade biologically active peptides, biochemicals, substrates and inhibitors from stock, your project may require a peptide not listed in our catalog. By choosing Bachem as your custom synthesis partner you will have access to our knowledge base of close to 50 years experience in designing and synthesizing novel peptides according to customer requirements. Additionally, our custom synthesis service offers labeling with various dyes as a standard modification and our new generation of fluorophores: Tide FluorTM Dyes and Tide QuenchersTM.
Fluorescently labeled peptides are a great improvement in optical medical imaging. They have the potential to make a positive impact on image-guided surgery and disease diagnosis. A technique of increasing interest involves the use of fluorescent peptide probes that bind or become modified by a molecular target overexpressed at the disease site.
This month's highlights include news about an experimental peptide that targets Covid-19, peptides that can remodel the bacterial population of intestines to a healthier state, a potential drug that treats type 2 diabetes without harsh side effects and the discovery of a new vehicle peptide.
