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
Two substitutions from vasopressin: phenylalanine at two and lysine at eight. Four peptides in this family are in the library, differing at one or two positions each.
Sequence
| 1 | CFFQNCPKG |

- Three-letter code
- Cys-Phe-Phe-Gln-Asn-Cys-Pro-Lys-Gly
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. Felypressin is built from 7 of the twenty standard amino acids across 9 positions.
