Press Release Body = August 15, 2007 - San Jose, CA

One of the world's largest providers of unusual amino acids, today AnaSpec announced
the release of its 2007-2009 Combinatorial Chemistry catalog. Complementing its
Peptides and Detection Reagents catalogs, the 2007-2009 Combinatorial Chemistry
catalog represents the third and final piece in AnaSpec's multi-platform collection
of integrated proteomics solutions.

The 2007-2009 Combinatorial Chemistry catalog showcases AnaSpec's broad range of
combinatorial chemistry related products including standard amino acids, unusual
amino acids, amino acid cartridges, synthesis resins, synthesis reagents, and
synthesis accessories. AnaSpec's Combinatorial Chemistry catalog is designed as a
resource for researchers in the medicinal, peptide and combinatorial synthesis
communities.

Products are classified into the following sections:

Resins -a wide selection of resins for different peptide synthesis needs, such as
resins for C-terminal
acid or amide; amino acid preloaded resins; fluorophore, chromophore and biotin
labeled amino acids preloaded resins.

Reagents - coupling reagents and additives; protecting reagents; labeling reagents,
as well as building blocks

Standard Amino Acids - 20 naturally occurring amino acids, both L-isomer and
D-isomer, heavy isotope labeled, Fmoc or Boc protected.

Unusual Amino Acids (UAA) - 15 categories based on the major classes of UAA are
arranged alphabetically.

Amino Acid Cartridges - used in ABI and Protein Technologies synthesizers.

Accessories - filter paper, reaction vessels, amino acid reservoirs, lyophilizers

The technical section contains informative resources relevant to peptide synthesis
such as coupling and cleavage conditions, chemical abbreviations, general properties
of amino acids, pK and pI values of amino acids, and information regarding
protecting and labeling groups.
