Complex chemistry
GHK-Cu is the copper-complexed form of the tripeptide Gly-His-Lys. In the literature, this molecule is a clearly defined example of peptide–metal coordination.
Research profile
This 50 mg catalogue variant provides a defined starting point for spectroscopic characterisation, complex formation and analytical comparison of short peptide ligands.
Scientific mechanism
GHK-Cu is the copper complex of the tripeptide Gly-His-Lys. Its scientific basis is peptide–metal coordination: amino groups and the imidazole group of histidine can interact with Cu(II), allowing complex formation to be investigated spectroscopically and analytically.
Batch documentation
