chemistry & stability
why DSIP breaks down fast and what that means for delivery
simple structure, unstable molecule
DSIP's chemistry is straightforward -- 9 amino acids in a linear chain -- but its stability is not. Multiple glycine residues create conformational flexibility that enzymes exploit, and the tryptophan at position 1 makes the peptide light-sensitive. Understanding why DSIP degrades quickly explains why most clinical research used intravenous delivery and why community protocols face significant quality-control challenges.
