Amino acid analysis - a quintessential technique for the comprehensive determination of the amino acid composition and sequence of peptides and proteins - has emerged as a powerful analytical tool with an extensive range of applications across diverse fields such as biochemistry, pharmacology, clinical research, and biotechnology. As a leading player in this domain, Creative Peptides extends an exhaustive array of amino acid analysis services that are customized to align with the specific needs of our valued patrons, with an unwavering commitment towards delivering unparalleled quality and accuracy.

Application of Amino Acid Analysis
In the biochemistry domain, amino acid analysis assumes a critical role in unravelling the amino acid composition and sequence of proteins, thereby offering a window into the underlying structure, function, and stability of proteins. This, in turn, has the potential to facilitate groundbreaking discoveries in the field, with far-reaching implications.

In the realm of pharmacology, amino acid analysis serves as a crucial technique to determine the amino acid composition and sequence of peptides and proteins that are potential drug candidates. Armed with this crucial information, researchers can potentially unravel the intricate mechanism of action and anticipate potential side effects of these drugs, thereby transforming the landscape of drug discovery.

Clinical research is another critical area that leverages amino acid analysis extensively. This technique plays an instrumental role in the diagnosis and monitoring of a wide range of diseases that emanate from abnormalities in amino acid metabolism. A case in point is phenylketonuria (PKU), a genetic disorder that wreaks havoc on the metabolism of the amino acid phenylalanine, and can be diagnosed and monitored using amino acid analysis, thereby enabling early intervention and treatment.

Amino Acid Analytical Methods
As with any analytical tool, there exist several methods of amino acid analysis, each with its unique advantages and limitations. At Creative Peptides, we take pride in utilizing the most advanced analytical techniques available, thereby ensuring that our clients receive the most accurate and precise results possible. Among the techniques we employ are the following:

HPLC Analysis

High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) technique separates the amino acids in a sample based on their chemical properties, such as polarity, size, and charge. The separated amino acids are then detected using a UV or fluorescence detector.

GC Analysis

Gas chromatography (GC) separates amino acids based on their volatility. The amino acids are first converted into their volatile derivatives, such as methyl esters, and then separated using a column packed with a stationary phase. The separated amino acids are then detected using a flame ionization detector (FID) or mass spectrometry (MS).

Mass Spectrometry

Mass spectrometry (MS) can provide accurate mass measurements of the amino acids, which can be used to identify them. MS can also be used to determine the isotopic composition of the amino acids, which can be used to study metabolic pathways.
