The problem: Ice crystal formation can damage peptide structure Potency loss Unproven benefit vs proven risk Better approach: Mix smaller batches more frequently Use within 28-30 days while refrigerated Mistake 4: Storing in fridge door The fridge door experiences the most temperature fluctuation
(Cell Mol Gastroenterol Hepatol, 2016) reported the effect was lost in PepT1-knockout mice
Structure visualization and residue selection Protein structures of glutaredoxins were inspected using Swiss-PDB Viewer 54
