RYVVLPR polypeptide, derived from laminin 1, is a bioactive short peptide with significant implications in biomedical research. It was used to functionalize the self-assembling peptide scaffold RAD16-I.
This peptide is soluble in water at 10mg/ml (1% w/v) and forms hydrogels with nanofiber structures, exhibiting β -sheet conformation. In human aortic endothelial cell (HAEC) culture, it promotes cell adhesion with nearly 100% attachment rate, sustains HAEC phenotype, and accelerates the formation of confluent monolayers with enhanced cell growth compared to the unmodified scaffold. HAEC on this peptide-modified scaffold can release nitric oxide and deposit basement membrane components like laminin 1 and collagen IV, suggesting its potential in tissue engineering, drug screening, and cancer biology research for mimicking cell microenvironment and modulating cell behavior.

Normally, this peptide will be delivered in lyophilized form and should be stored in a freezer at or below -20 °C. For more details, please refer to the manual: Handling and Storage of Synthetic Peptides

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.
