It is widely used in peptide and protein research as a reconstitution solvent, particularly for lyophilised peptides that exhibit poor solubility in water alone. The mild acidity of a 1% acetic acid solution (pH ~3.4) aids in dissolving hydrophobic or aggregation-prone peptides without denaturing their structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMechanism of Action\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcetic acid (C₂H₄O₂, MW 60.05 g\/mol, CAS 64-19-7) is a simple carboxylic acid that protonates basic residues on peptide chains, increasing their net positive charge and improving aqueous solubility. At 1% v\/v concentration, it provides sufficient acidity to solubilise most research peptides while remaining compatible with downstream dilution into physiological buffers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eResearch Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReconstitution of lyophilised research peptides (e.g. IGF-1, GH fragments)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreparation of peptide stock solutions for in vitro assays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuffer preparation and pH adjustment in laboratory protocols\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtein solubilisation and stability studies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eUsage Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor peptide reconstitution, add a small volume of 1% acetic acid to the lyophilised peptide, allow to dissolve fully, then dilute to the desired concentration with sterile PBS or bacteriostatic water. Reconstituted solutions should be aliquoted and stored at -20°C to minimise freeze-thaw degradation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMolecular Formula:\u003c\/strong\u003e C₂H₄O₂\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMolecular Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60.05 g\/mol\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCAS Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 64-19-7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConcentration:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1% v\/v\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aqueous solution\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStorage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShelf Life:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24 months\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis product is intended for legitimate laboratory and analytical research use only.
