  • Description
    Also active against MRSA USA300 (MIC 3.1 uM) (Menousek J et al 2012 Int J Antimicrob Agents 39:402). CD was measured in the presence and absence of TFE. A change of residue 18 to K18 led to an improved TI (Chem Bio Drug Des 2008; 72: 58-64). The peptide is also HIV active (EC50=1.2 uM) (Wang G et al. 2010 Antimicrob. Agents Chemother. 54: 1343-1346). Ascaphin-8 has Antibacterial, Antifungal activity. The source of Ascaphin-8 is Coastal Tailed Frog, Ascaphus truei, Pacific Northwest, USA, North America.
  • Storage Guidelines

  • About TFA salt

    Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) is a common counterion from the purification process using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). The presence of TFA can affect the peptide's net weight, appearance, and solubility.

    Impact on Net Weight: The TFA salt contributes to the total mass of the product. In most cases, the peptide content constitutes >80% of the total weight, with TFA accounting for the remainder.

    Solubility: TFA salts generally enhance the solubility of peptides in aqueous solutions.

    In Biological Assays: For most standard in vitro assays, the residual TFA levels do not cause interference. However, for highly sensitive cellular or biochemical studies, please be aware of its presence.
