Z-D-leucine

Description:
Z-D-leucine, also known as benzyloxycarbonyl-D-leucine, is a derivative of the amino acid leucine, characterized by the presence of a benzyloxycarbonyl (Z) protecting group. This compound is typically utilized in peptide synthesis and research due to its ability to protect the amino group of leucine during chemical reactions. Z-D-leucine is a white to off-white crystalline powder, soluble in organic solvents such as methanol and dimethyl sulfoxide, but less soluble in water. Its molecular structure includes a branched aliphatic side chain, which contributes to its hydrophobic properties. The presence of the Z group enhances the stability of the amino acid during synthesis, making it a valuable intermediate in the production of peptides and pharmaceuticals. Additionally, Z-D-leucine can be used in studies related to protein folding and function, as well as in the development of various bioactive compounds. As with many amino acid derivatives, it is important to handle Z-D-leucine with care, following appropriate safety protocols in laboratory settings.
