Description
DGEAGC is an oligopeptide used to protect gold nanoclusters in the synthesis process. It is mixed with HAuCl4 in ultrapure water and undergoes thermal reduction at 70°C to form the gold nanoclusters. The FTIR spectrum of the gold nanoclusters with DGEAGC showed preserved carbonyl and amide I peaks, indicating the maintained structure of the peptide ligands on the cluster surface. DGEAGC acts as a surface ligand for the gold nanoclusters and helps in the formation of clusters with strong orange-red fluorescence.

About TFA salt
Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) has a significant impact on peptides due to its role in the peptide synthesis process.
TFA is essential for the protonation of peptides that lack basic amino acids such as Arginine (Arg), Histidine (His), and Lysine (Lys), or ones that have blocked N-termini. As a result, peptides often contain TFA salts in the final product.
TFA residues, when present in custom peptides, can cause unpredictable fluctuations in experimental data. At a nanomolar (nM) level, TFA can influence cell experiments, hindering cell growth at low concentrations (as low as 10 nM) and promoting it at higher doses (0.5–7.0 mM). It can also serve as an allosteric regulator on the GlyR of glycine receptors, thereby increasing receptor activity at lower glycine concentrations.
In an in vivo setting, TFA can trifluoroacetylate amino groups in proteins and phospholipids, inducing potentially unwanted antibody responses. Moreover, TFA can impact structure studies as it affects spectrum absorption.
