Z-dl-leucine

Description:
Z-dl-leucine, also known as Z-leucine or benzyloxycarbonyl-leucine, is a derivative of the amino acid leucine, which is essential for protein synthesis and various metabolic processes. The "Z" in its name refers to the benzyloxycarbonyl protecting group, which is commonly used in peptide synthesis to protect the amino group of the amino acid. This compound is a white to off-white crystalline solid that is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. Z-dl-leucine is often utilized in biochemical research and pharmaceutical applications, particularly in the synthesis of peptides and as a building block in the development of various bioactive compounds. Its structure includes a hydrophobic side chain, characteristic of leucine, which contributes to its role in protein folding and stability. As with many amino acid derivatives, Z-dl-leucine's properties can be influenced by factors such as pH and temperature, making it important to consider these conditions in experimental settings.
