Physicochemical properties, instability index and binding energy of the Kunitz4 derived peptides.
| Peptide name | Binding energy (kcal/mol) | GRAVYa | Net charge at PH 7 | Water solubility | Instability indexb | Isoelectric point | HPLC purity (%) | Salt form |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kunitz4-a | − 770.7 | − 0.900 | 2 | Good | 117.23 | 11.21 | 95.28 | Acetate |
| Kunitz4-b | − 1673.8 | − 1.283 | 0.9 | Good | 35.83 | 8.77 | 96.31 | Acetate |
| Kunitz4-c | − 1488.5 | − 2.046 | 5.1 | Good | 80.85 | 11.9 | 95.28 | Acetate |
aPositive GRAVY values indicate hydrophobic; negative values mean hydrophilic.
bInstability index value < 40 indicates that the peptide is stable.
