About · Peptide Index

Peptide Index is a file-based reference database of research peptides. Every entry is a plain Markdown/MDX file with structured frontmatter — there is no CMS and no database, so the whole catalogue is version-controlled and reviewable like code.

What you’ll find

Each peptide entry collects its sequence, basic chemistry, aliases and citations alongside a plain-language overview. A colour-coded sequence “fingerprint” visualises the residue composition at a glance. Longer-form guides cover cross-cutting topics like nomenclature and handling.

Editorial stance

Entries are reference material, not recommendations. Copy is kept factual, claims are attributed to primary sources, and nothing is framed as dosing or medical advice. Where a figure has not been verified it should be marked as such.

All entries are reference material for research and educational purposes only. Nothing here is medical advice, a dosing recommendation, or a suggestion for human or veterinary use. Scientific values should be independently verified against primary sources.

How it’s built

Next.js (App Router) with statically-exported output, Tailwind CSS for styling, and next-mdx-remote to render the MDX bodies. Because it builds to static files, it can be hosted anywhere.
