DI-FMOC-ALPHA-METHYL-DL-ORNITHINE

Description:

DI-FMOC-ALPHA-METHYL-DL-ORNITHINE is a synthetic amino acid derivative commonly used in peptide synthesis and research. It features a protected amino group, specifically with two fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (FMOC) groups, which serve as protective groups to prevent unwanted reactions during synthesis. The presence of the alpha-methyl group distinguishes it from natural ornithine, providing steric hindrance that can influence the conformation and reactivity of peptides. This compound is typically utilized in the development of peptide-based therapeutics and in the study of protein interactions due to its ability to mimic natural amino acids while offering unique properties. Its structure allows for the introduction of various functionalities, making it a versatile building block in organic and medicinal chemistry. As with many synthetic compounds, handling should be conducted with care, following appropriate safety protocols to mitigate any potential hazards associated with its use.
