All peptides were synthesized by CPC Scientific Inc. For fluorogenic assays, peptides were flanked with the fluorophore-quencher pair 5-FAM-CPQ2. For in vivo urine experiments, peptides were barcoded with Glu-Fib–derived and heavy isotope–labeled peptides. PEGylated peptides were pooled prepared before in vivo experiments and stored at 4°C in phosphate-buffered saline.
