What is peptide purity and how does it differ from peptide content?
The reported purity of a peptide is a percentage of the target sequence as determined by HPLC. The impurities found in a peptide will include deletion sequences, truncated sequences, and incompletely deprotected sequences. Peptide content can be determined in a few different ways depending on the sequence, and is a measurement of the native peptide present versus the non-peptide components.
