Comparative Analytical Assays in Peptide Characterization

Different analytical techniques measure fundamentally different attributes of a synthesized peptide:

Assay Technique Primary Metric Measured What It Validates Inherent Limitation
RP-HPLC (C18) UV Absorption Area-% at 214nm Purity relative to UV-active peptide contaminants Does not detect inorganic salts, counter-ions, or moisture
ESI-MS (Mass Spec) Mass-to-Charge Ratio (m/z) Definitive molecular mass and chemical identity Cannot distinguish enantiomers (D- vs L-amino acids)
Amino Acid Analysis (AAA) Molar amino acid stoichiometry Net peptide content vs total vial powder mass Labor-intensive; destroys peptide sample via acid hydrolysis
Karl Fischer Titration Coulometric Water Content (%) Residual bound moisture in lyophilized cake Measures water exclusively; no information on purity or identity
Live Analytical Verification
