At Sussex Research Laboratories Inc., we stand at the cutting edge of glycopeptide synthesis, cementing our status as the world's leading provider of synthetic, precisely defined, and characterized glycosylated peptides. With nearly two decades of dedicated effort, we have refined our synthesis techniques to master both N- and O-linked glycopeptides. Our expertise does not end there; we specialize in a broad spectrum of peptides including lipopeptides, glycolipopeptides, macrocyclic peptides, fructosylated peptides, and peptides tagged with fluorescent or biotin markers, as well as peptides labeled with stable isotopes.
Unlocking Potentials in Research & Development
Glycopeptides are revolutionizing the research and development landscape, highlighting the critical roles of glycans in cell-surface and circulatory proteins. These carbohydrates are pivotal in various biological processes such as cell adhesion, immune responses, fertilization, and cellular targeting. They are essential for the transport, stabilization, and lifespan of proteins. Consequently, synthetic glycoproteins and glycopeptide fragments have become indispensable tools for fundamental research and biomedical applications, witnessing a swift expansion in their usage.
Advancing Drug Discovery & Development
The glycosylation of peptides considerably enhances their stability, solubility, and bioavailability, often amplifying the effectiveness of peptide-based therapies. Such modifications endow peptides and proteins with beneficial biological properties, making short, stable, and well-characterized glycopeptide sequences derived from larger proteins highly efficient as ligands.
