+32Every side reaction above produces a species present in the [[Crude peptide|crude]] and, unless resolved, in the product. Aspartimide-derived isomers in particular are isobaric with the target and differ only in backbone connectivity, so they are invisible to intact mass and require chromatographic resolution.{{r|usp1503}}

+34This is the concrete reason [[Analytical method validation|method specificity]] matters for peptides more than for most small molecules: the impurities most likely to be present are the ones most similar to the target.{{r|usp621}}
