These are published properties of the molecule, given for identification. Values we cannot confirm are omitted rather than estimated. What these terms mean.
What this compound is
Four residues, the same acidic core as Epitalon with a proline in place of the glycine. Comparing the two shows how small these bioregulator peptides are.
Sequence
| 1 | AEDP |
|---|
- Three-letter code
- Ala-Glu-Asp-Pro
The one-letter code gives the amino-acid backbone. Terminal modifications, where a compound carries them, are accounted for in the molecular weight above but are not visible in the letters.
Residue composition
Counted directly from the sequence above. Cortagen is built from 4 of the twenty standard amino acids across 4 positions.
