JPTs Histone Code Peptides
As histones are a major focus of epigenetics, JPTs computational scientists compiled a unique library of synthetic posttranslationally modified and unmodified human histone peptides that is now available as individual biotinylated peptides. The peptide library consists of more than seven hundred 20mer peptides from 29 histone families (e.g. H2A[1,19,85...], H2B[1,22,42...], H3[1,23,43...], H4[1,14,44...]). Peptides carry PTMs at reported sites (e.g. acetylation, methylation, phosphorylation, citrullination) in various combinations representing natural variants.
JPTs highly skilled and committed scientific staff ensures that the most appropriate methods and techniques are selected for every synthesis project. All of JPTs catalog peptides are provided with HPLC-MS analyses to confirm the identity and demonstrate the high quality of our peptides.

Testimonial for Histone Code Peptide Microarray
"JPTs new extremely high-density histone peptide array is a dramatic leap forward for analysis of the histone code hypothesis. The complete sequence coverage across core histones and histone variants as well as the presence of common and rare histone post-translational modifications "alone and in combination" makes this an unparalleled tool for studying the "writers" and "readers" of the histone code. My laboratory has used these arrays to ask the sequence and PTM dependence of a histone writer enzyme and we have discovered an activity specifying code that will keep us busy for years to come."
