:N-cbz-ala-glu
Description:
N-Cbz-ala-glu, also known as N-carbobenzyloxy-L-alanylaspartic acid, is a peptide derivative characterized by the presence of a carbobenzyloxy (Cbz) protecting group on the amino group of L-alanine and an aspartic acid residue. This compound is typically utilized in peptide synthesis and research due to its ability to protect amino groups during chemical reactions, allowing for selective modifications. The Cbz group is known for its stability under various conditions, making it a popular choice in organic synthesis. N-Cbz-ala-glu is soluble in polar organic solvents and exhibits properties typical of amino acids and peptides, such as the ability to form hydrogen bonds and participate in various biochemical interactions. Its structure allows for potential applications in drug development and biochemistry, particularly in the design of peptide-based therapeutics. As with many peptide derivatives, the stability and reactivity can be influenced by environmental factors such as pH and temperature, which are important considerations in its application and handling.

Z-Ala-Glu-OH
CAS:<p>Z-Ala-Glu-OH is an amino acid with a glutamate residue. It is a synthetic amino acid that has been shown to have excitotoxic effects in the brain. The mechanism of action is thought to involve the activation of ionotropic glutamate receptors and the inhibition of voltage-gated potassium channels, leading to neuronal cell death. This compound has been found to be a sweetener in biochemical reactions. Z-Ala-Glu-OH was shown to undergo proteolytic degradation, which may be due to aminopeptidases present in the gut or enzyme preparations used during digestion. This amino acid was also shown to have neurodegenerative properties when given orally to mealworms, as well as profiles that are similar to those found in humans with neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.</p>Formula:C16H20N2O7Purity:Min. 95%Color and Shape:PowderMolecular weight:352.34 g/mol
