Structural Context
KPV is a linear tripeptide composed of Lysine, Proline, and Valine. The structure incorporates a positively charged basic amino acid (Lysine), a cyclic imino acid (Proline) that introduces conformational constraint, and a branched-chain hydrophobic amino acid (Valine). This combination creates a distinct polarity profile—ranging from charged hydrophilic to hydrophobic—making the peptide suitable for analytical method development, chromatographic reference studies, and stability assessments in controlled laboratory environments.
Handling and Storage
The peptide is supplied in lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder form in a 10 mg vial. For optimal stability, store lyophilized material at or below -20°C. Protect from repeated freeze-thaw cycles, moisture, and prolonged exposure to light.
Research Applications
This product is manufactured and supplied as a chemical reference standard for in-vitro laboratory research applications including analytical method development, chromatographic reference studies, stability assessments, and polarity profiling in controlled laboratory environments.
