SYNPEPTIDES / RESEARCH & INFORMATION
A curated reading list on peptide chemistry and analytical evidence. These papers provide historical and methodological context.
R. B. Merrifield. Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis. I. The Synthesis of a Tetrapeptide. Journal of the American Chemical Society 85(14), 2149–2154. A foundational demonstration of supported peptide assembly. A historical chemistry paper does not verify a modern commercial batch.
Joshua E. Elias and Steven P. Gygi. Target-decoy search strategy for increased confidence in large-scale protein identifications by mass spectrometry. Nature Methods 4(3), 207–214. A methods paper about identification confidence in proteomics, rather than certification of supplied material.
Lukas Käll, John D. Storey, Michael J. MacCoss and William Stafford Noble. Assigning significance to peptides identified by tandem mass spectrometry using decoy databases. Journal of Proteome Research 7(1), 29–34. A methods review on statistical interpretation.
