First, if the peptide is damaged during preparation through rough handling, incorrect solvent, or thermal stress the material you use in your experiment will not reflect its catalogued purity and activity

Both conditions are driven by T-cell responses and characterized by lymphocytic infiltration into the thyroid
The peptide retains activity in human gastric juice for more than 24 hours, tolerates pH from 1 to 11, and resists multiple proteolytic enzymes, properties that derive from the high proline content (four of fifteen residues) and the absence of cleavage-prone motifs
