Glutathione (GSH) Structure: The Gamma-Glutamyl Bond, Thiol Chemistry, and the GSH/GSSG Redox Couple

Glutathione is the tripeptide gamma-L-glutamyl-L-cysteinyl-glycine, C₁₀H₁₇N₃O₆S, 307.3 g/mol. Its unusual gamma-peptide bond resists standard proteases, its cysteine thiol is the reactive center, and its oxidation to the disulfide GSSG defines the two-electron redox couple used as a marker of cellular redox state. A structure-first overview. For research purposes only.

Peptide COA Verification FAQ: How to Verify a Certificate of Analysis Is Real

A peptide COA is verified by matching the lot number to the vial, confirming the issuing lab and report ID directly with that lab, and checking that the document shows the method, chromatogram, and observed mass rather than a bare purity figure. Fourteen questions researchers ask about COA verification, answered first-sentence. For research purposes only.
