The facility can do both large- and small-scale peptide synthesis, including the synthesis of phosphopeptides, peptides containing unusual amino acids & multiple antigen peptide systems (MAPS) for vaccine production or monoclonal antibody production. The facility also has the capability to synthesize combinatorial peptide libraries. The facility provides N-terminal protein/peptide sequence analysis of samples in solution or of samples electro-blotted onto polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membranes. The facility personnel also perform chemical and enzymatic digestion of proteins in solution or proteins blotted onto PVDF to provide internal sequence information.
