Structure and physicochemical properties Amino Acid Sequence BPC-157 consists of 15 amino acids arranged in the following sequence: H-Gly-Glu-Pro-Pro-Pro-Gly-Lys-Pro-Ala-Asp-Asp-Ala-Gly-Leu-Val-OH This sequence is characterized by: The presence of three consecutive proline residues (Pro-Pro-Pro), which gives the molecule a specific spatial conformation Two aspartic acid residues (Asp-Asp), which influence the acidic properties of the peptide an N-terminal glycine residue and a C-terminal valine residue Physicochemical properties Chemical Stability One of the distinctive features of BPC-157 is its high stability compared to many other peptides
