Glycylglycylglycine is used as a model peptide for studies of physicochemical parameters and molecular associations of small peptides. Triglycine is used as a copper chelator. It also acts as substrate for reproducible serum protein measurements by the biuret reaction1 and for the assay of aminotripeptidases
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
