Applications of Peptides and Proteins

In the human body, most if not all biological/ physiological processes are regulated by various forms of molecular recognition. Most of these processes involve initiation or inhibition trough protein-protein interaction. As we know Peptides and proteins due to the vast number of conformational possibilities are ideal to carry out such complex control functions. The last 40 years have seen an enormous growth in the methodologies available to obtain peptide and protein molecules. Through recombinant methods, most labs can now assemble genes, subcloned them into expression vectors and obtain a wide range of endogenous proteins; likewise the pioneering work of Bruce Merrifield, makes it possible to obtain multi-kilo amounts of a number of biologically active peptides.

However, the number of peptides that have entered the pharmaceutical market is relatively low; perhaps due to a number of reasons, among them: antigenicity, immunogenicity , bioavailability and stability of the product upon administration into the patient. To some degree the relative scarcity of large scale peptide production plants that can make the peptide products in large amounts (perhaps at the ton levels) at more affordable costs, have also been a factor.

The good news is that in the last few years, after the completion of the human genome project, there have been more targets that are being worked on and the numbers of GMP facilities and the cost for GMP Peptides have been continuously improving. Our forecast is that synthetic peptide chemistry will be an important source of many medically/clinically relevant peptides and proteins in the years to come.

Bio-Synthesis has been producing synthetic peptides for over 25 years. Our expertise in custom synthetic polypeptide manufacturing allows us to produce the high-quality, large-scale, and GMP peptides with the highest success rate with long standing records. We have been delivered more than 100,000 peptides to customers worldwide, including very hydrophobic polypeptide, peptide with multiple disulfide bonds, multi-phosph0rylated peptides and extremely long peptides. Our large scale non-GMP ever delivered 5 kilograms of Peptides on a single order and has the capacity of 10,000 peptides per month. Our capacity of GMP peptide is 10 kilograms.

About BSI

"The use of state-of-the art technology has allowed Bio-Synthesis, Inc. to rapidly gain recognition for its manufacturing quality & dependability of delivery."

Founded in 1984, Bio-Synthesis, Inc. was first known as OCS Laboratories. It was the first producer of commercially available synthetic DNA and, in 1985, became a producer of synthetic peptides. In 1989, OCS incorporated as Bio-Synthesis, Inc. and moved its laboratories to Lewisville, Texas. Today, BSI occupies 10,000 square feet of modern laboratory space (completed in 1995) located 20 miles from downtown Dallas and 10 miles from D/FW airport. Among the surrounding academic institutions are: University of Texas Southwestern Medical School (12 miles), University of North Texas (10 miles), and University of North Texas Health Science Center (25 miles). These universities provide excellent library resources. Since its inception, BSI has steadily expanded its product lines and services to meet the growing needs of the molecular biology community. It has maintained its position as an aggressive, innovative company in a highly competitive marketplace without sacrificing quality. In the beginning, our primary emphasis was on synthesizing high quality DNA primers and linkers, which were the initial uses of oligos. Today, newer technologies, such as gene construction, PCR, mutagenesis, combinatorial libraries, dye/adduct labeling, DNA microarrays, peptide-nucleic acid chimeras, etc. have challenged the molecular biology field. In response, BSI has branched into several related areas including DNA paternity testing, DNA HLA typing, PNA synthesis, genomic sequencing, fluorescence-based genotyping, custom organic synthesis and other molecular biology based applications.

The Research and Development Division comprises a number of Ph.D. and M.D. professionals with backgrounds in molecular biology, immunology, nucleic acids, peptide synthesis, general organic chemistry, and automated amino acid sequencing. The Molecular Biology Division is set up to handle most modern experimental procedures; the Immunology Division specializes in immunodiagnostic-based reagents.

Not only has BSI continued to provide quality DNA products and services for the research community, but it has also become a world leader in providing custom peptide products and services. Using state-of-the-art solid phase peptide chemistries, BSI provides high quality custom peptides, performs carrier conjugations, antipeptide antibody production, antigenic peptide design, synthesis of long and/or modified peptides, MALDI TOF analysis, contract research, consultation services and more.

Biomedical researchers worldwide in universities, biotech companies, private clinics, and government agencies use products from Bio-Synthesis, Inc. in studies ranging from PCR diagnostics to cancer research and the Human Genome Project.

Custom Antibody

As a leading supplier of genomic and proteomic research products, BSI is able to offer its customers integrated solutions for custom DNA synthesis, custom RNA synthesis, custom polyclonal antibody production, custom peptide synthesis, molecular diagnostic detection kits, DNA Real-Time PCR products, DNA microarray services and a wide range of custom DNA-based diagnostic kits and consumables.

The proteomic division is experienced in the design of peptides, both for antibody production and bioactive peptide synthesis, e.g cosmetic peptides. While the custom peptide synthesis division has the ability to produce thousands of modified or non-modified peptides per day for research applications, BSI also provides diagnostic/therapeutic GMP custom peptide production. Synthesis of custom peptides results in quantities ranging from milligrams to multi-kilograms. The staff in the custom antibody division provide expert support in the selection of peptide antigens for target antibody production and offer convenient custom-bundled packages with a wide range of host animals. In addition, peptide, antibody and protein arrays are also amongst its expertise.

BSI is a U.S. based company whose primary emphasis is on the synthesis of high quality custom products for a variety of applications and a full-service contract manufacturing organization (CMO) delivering research, development and production services for cGMP clinical batch manufacturing.
