SNAP-8

SNAP-8 is a synthetic research peptide. It is also known as Acetyl Octapeptide-3. This compound belongs to the class of acetylated short peptides. Researchers study this material to learn about its eight-amino-acid chain in lab settings. The chain has an acetyl group at one end. Research looks at how the chain stays arranged in solutions. They check its stability in buffer systems over time. This helps map molecular associations in controlled conditions. Investigators apply the peptide in various lab models. All work stays inside controlled laboratory environments only.

Chemical Composition & Purity

The product comes as a white powder. The molecular formula of this compound is C₄₁H₇₀N₁₆O₁₆S. The molecular weight is 1075.16 g/mol. Kimera Chems checks every batch with third-party testing. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) confirms identity and purity. Purity level is documented as 99% suitable for research use. Researchers receive it as a 5 mg lyophilized peptide.

Research Applications

The SNAP-8 peptide forms a short chain of eight amino acids with an acetyl group at one end. Researchers study how this chain comes close to isolated targets in cell-free systems. The side groups on the amino acids help create specific contacts at binding areas. Scientists measure these contacts in a solution to map the peptide structure. Tests also verify how the chain stays stable under different conditions. All tests are done in controlled in vitro laboratory settings.

• Chain Association: Evaluating with isolated preparations.
• Structure Check: Reviewing peptide form.
• Stability Tests: Observing in a buffer.
• Rate Measurements: Recording data.

Storage & Handling Protocol

Researchers follow basic rules to protect the lyophilized form. This helps keep the peptide quality steady for lab work. Simple steps prevent common issues.

• Lyophilized peptides can be kept at room temperature, away from direct light.
• If reconstituted, the sample should be kept in the fridge.
• For long-term storage, the material must be stored in the freezer.
• Keep in a dry place with a desiccant.
• Keep the vial tightly closed.
• Use sterile methods if reconstitution is required.
