Analytical note — SS-31 (elamipretide). A four-residue peptide containing a D-arginine and 2,6-dimethyltyrosine, a non-standard residue. It is strongly basic and small, so retention depends heavily on ion-pairing additive, and the non-standard residues mean routine amino-acid analysis will not match a standard reference table.
Identity references The molecular formula, molecular mass and CAS registry number above are taken from the PubChem record linked in the table, not from a supplier datasheet, so every figure can be checked against an independent source in one click. Sequences are given as reported in the peptide literature, in the one-letter or three-letter convention as appropriate, with any non-standard residue named in full. Where a compound exists in more than one form — a free peptide and a metal complex, a fragment and its parent protein, a modified and an unmodified analog — the form supplied is the one identified here, and the mass on the certificate of analysis is what distinguishes it.
