Guide to handling and Storing Peptides

Solubility is often one of the major challenges for researchers who work with peptides. Each amino acid exhibits its own physical characteristics. Such amino acids as leucine, isoleucine, and valine are very hydrophobic.Other amino acids such as lysine, histidine, and arginine are hydrophilic. Thus, different peptides will have different solubilities, based on the content of the peptide.
