This sequence carries terminal or reporter modifications (Pyr), so no molecular formula or weight is published here — the modified mass must come from the lot certificate of analysis. Residue composition and charge describe the peptide backbone only. Composition figures above are derived arithmetically from the published sequence for the unmodified free peptide. Salt forms (commonly trifluoroacetate or acetate), amidation, and other modifications shift the observed mass — always reconcile against the current lot certificate of analysis.

General guidance for this class

Reference standards in the Immune class are typically shipped as lyophilized powder and stored desiccated at −20 °C protected from light. Once reconstituted in bacteriostatic water or the assay-appropriate buffer, aliquot and store at −80 °C to minimize freeze–thaw cycles. Confirm handling requirements against your institutional biosafety and radiation protocols before use.
