Peptides and Muscle Formation
There are 20 natural occurring amino acids that make up all the proteins in the human body. Muscle is made up of cells capable of contraction and relaxation in order to effect movement. There are 3 main types of muscle: skeletal, smooth and cardiac. Skeletal muscle is composed of muscle cells (fibers), each in turn made up of contractile elements called myofibrils. Human growth hormone (HGH), a 191 amino acid long Peptide/protein is produced at its peak during puberty, reaching a peak at around 18-25, and then gradually decreasing with age until at about 55-60 years old, the amount of HGH is only about 25% of its peak. HGH stimulates muscle build up.
The nutrition industry offers trough health stores, a number of protein powders, mainly derived from soy or whey. The more processed the powder the more expensive; processed normally refers to how hydrolyzed is the protein. We now that when we consume /ingest protein in our meals, the catabolic process (degradation) in the stomach sac, through a number of digestive enzymes and hydrochloric acid, chews down the proteins all the way down to amino acids, which then are absorbed in the intestines to be distributed and absorbed by our cells and be used anabolically (to construct) the proteins that our body needs.
Therefore, the more hydrolyzed the protein powder is, the less work our stomach has to do and the more easily absorbable it is, and the more they charge for it. SO the question is, it worthy to pay the premium for the more highly processed product. And the answer may be, that it depends , most young, healthy individuals will able to process protein at heir normal rate and obtain muscle growth with the proper training; on the other hand if the object is to speed up that muscle growth, one can argue that the bioavailability of the more processed powder may justify the added cost. So each person has to weigh and analyze the cost/benefit factor that best suits their purpose.

"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. Contact us to discover how BSI can customize products/services to suit your research requirements.
