Peptide half-life and why it matters in research
A short explainer on peptide half-life and how modifications like DAC change it.
What half-life means
Half-life describes how long a peptide persists before half of it has cleared in a given model. It is a key variable in research design.
Why modifications change it
Structural modifications change stability. For example, the DAC modification on some GHRH analogues extends persistence, which is why CJC-1295 without DAC behaves differently from the DAC version.
Research context
Half-life is studied in laboratory and in-vitro models only.
