Why a counterion is not part of the amino acid sequence
A counterion is associated with the charged material and is not another amino acid in its sequence. A complete material description may need both fields, but they should not be combined into a single residue list.
For research use only. Not for human or veterinary use.
When preparing a comparison, separate peptide identity from salt-form information. A counterion measurement, if supplied, is also distinct from the mere statement that a salt form was intended.
Reading checklist
- Keep sequence and counterion fields separate
- Distinguish intended form from measured content
- Retain the measurement basis
