Description
SS-31, also known as Elamipretide or MTP-131, is a modified synthetic four-residue peptide supplied for controlled laboratory, analytical, and scientific research.
Its molecular identity includes a D-arginine residue, the non-standard amino-acid derivative 2,6-dimethyltyrosine (Dmt), lysine, phenylalanine, and C-terminal amidation.
Because stereochemistry, non-standard residues, and terminal modification form part of the complete structure, SS-31 cannot be fully represented by a conventional one-letter peptide sequence alone.
Research Applications
SS-31 may be examined in controlled non-clinical research involving:
Modified peptide characterization
Molecular interaction studies
Structure-function analysis
Stereochemical research
Modified amino-acid characterization
Comparative peptide analysis
Chromatographic characterization
Non-clinical biochemical and cellular models
Experimental observations should remain specific to the applicable research model and should not be interpreted as evidence of mitochondrial, cardiovascular, neurological, regenerative, therapeutic, or clinical effectiveness.
Structural Information
SS-31 is commonly represented as:
H-D-Arg-Dmt-Lys-Phe-NH₂
where Dmt denotes 2,6-dimethyltyrosine.
Key structural characteristics include:
Four-residue peptide structure
D-arginine stereochemistry
Non-standard Dmt residue
C-terminal amidation
Defined modified peptide architecture
These structural features are essential for accurate analytical identification.
Analytical Identification
Relevant analytical characterization may include:
Peptide identity confirmation
Molecular-mass assessment
Stereochemical verification
Dmt residue confirmation
C-terminal amidation verification
Chromatographic purity testing
Counter-ion assessment
Lot-specific quality analysis

Certificate of Analysis
Storage requirements
The trifluoroacetate-associated form may have different molecular specifications from the parent form, so the exact material supplied should be confirmed from its Certificate of Analysis.
Storage & Handling
Store according to the conditions specified on the product label and Certificate of Analysis. Protect the material from environmental conditions that could compromise peptide integrity.
Handling should follow established laboratory procedures appropriate for modified research peptide materials.
