I have synthesised the following peptide by manual t-Boc chemistry:
EPTPNAYYEGVFCSSSS
Both the crude and HPLC-pure peptide (confirmed by ms) form a gel at
concentrations done to 1 mg/ml in H2O. The solution appears completely clear
but is very viscous.
Any ideas as to what might be happenning?
Regards,
Juan
