Description:Fmoc-Lys-OH, or Fmoc-lysine, is a protected form of the amino acid lysine, commonly used in peptide synthesis. The "Fmoc" (9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl) group serves as a protective group for the amino functionality of lysine, allowing for selective reactions during the synthesis process. This compound is characterized by its ability to undergo deprotection under mild basic conditions, which is advantageous in multi-step peptide synthesis. Fmoc-Lys-OH is typically a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents such as dimethylformamide (DMF) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), but less soluble in water. Its molecular structure includes a lysine backbone with an Fmoc group attached to the amino group, which imparts stability and protects the amine from unwanted reactions. This compound is widely utilized in the field of biochemistry and medicinal chemistry for the synthesis of peptides and proteins, facilitating the introduction of lysine residues into larger molecular constructs.
