MPSD (MARCKS-ED) is a 25-amino acid peptide based on the effector domain sequence of the intracellular membrane protein myristoylated alanine-rich C-kinase substrate (MARCKS). MPSD can sense membrane curvature and recognize phosphatidylserine. MPSD can be utilized as biological probe to study membrane shape and lipid composition.

Methyl β-D-glucopyranoside, utilized in the enzymatic caffeoylation process, is instrumental in synthesizing natural glycophenolics.

Jagged-1 (188-204) TFA is a fragment of the JAG-1 protein. JAG-1 is Notch ligand, a peptide that is the most conspicuously expressed ligand in skin. JAG-1 induces epidermal maturation. Exposing submerged keratinocytes monolayers to JAG-1 with elevated calcium concentration produces stratification with loricrin expression and NF-alphaB activation.
