The free tetrapeptide H-Lys-Glu-Asp-Trp-OH (single-letter KEDW), of L-lysine, L-glutamic acid, L-aspartic acid and L-tryptophan with free termini, molecular formula C26H36N6O9. The chemist confirms the supplied form is the free acid. Chemical registries index the C-terminal AMIDE instead: PubChem CID 68451868 is H-Lys-Glu-Asp-Trp-NH2, a different molecule (C26H37N7O8, InChIKey WKJHPWJUFPYRSF-LEAZDLGRSA-N), so that CID is not shipped as this entity's identifier and no CID is asserted for the free acid here (a free-acid record surfaced by live PUG-REST at build is noted in the identifiers report). The sequence-derived structure carries no unassigned stereocentres. A computed 3D conformer is held pending the chemist sign-off.
Reference context
Pancragen is a synthetic tetrapeptide, H-Lys-Glu-Asp-Trp-OH (single-letter KEDW), of L-lysine, L-glutamic acid, L-aspartic acid and L-tryptophan, supplied as the free acid, from the St. Petersburg (Khavinson) line of short peptide bioregulators. It is listed here strictly as an analytical reference entity — it is not sold, stocked, or certified by Lineará, and has no price or certificate of analysis. The data on this page is characterization only: molecular formula C26H36N6O9 and the values computed from it. No biological activity, mechanism, or use is described or implied.

How Pancragen is characterized
Identity rests on the molecular formula and mass. Electrospray mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) measures the mass-to-charge ratio of the intact molecule; the average and monoisotopic masses are computed from the verified formula and cross-check the composition. The residue sequence and the modifications noted above define the structure.
