42Because they are made by stepwise chemical synthesis, the impurity profile of a peptide is distinctive: deletion sequences missing one residue, truncated sequences, and modified side chains, all structurally close to the intended molecule and often chromatographically close as well. This is why [[Analytical method validation|method specificity]] against process-related impurities carries the weight it does in peptide analysis, and why a specification is judged by which attributes it covers rather than by the number it reports.{{r|usp1503,ich_q6b}}42Because they are made by stepwise chemical synthesis, the impurity profile of a peptide is distinctive: deletion sequences missing one residue, truncated sequences, and modified side chains, all structurally close to the intended molecule and often chromatographically close as well.

+44== Peptides in research supply ==
+45A large market exists in peptides supplied for laboratory research. Material in that market is not manufactured under a marketing authorisation, is not released against a pharmacopoeial monograph, and is described by whatever documentation the supplier chooses to provide.{{r|reports}}
+46
+47The documentation most often supplied is a [[Certificate of analysis|certificate of analysis]]. What such a document establishes depends entirely on which determinations it reports: an [[Area percent purity|area percent]] figure without [[Peptide content|peptide content]] and water does not establish how much peptide is present, and a purity figure without an identity determination does not establish what the peptide is.{{r|usp1503}}
