:Ac-4,5-dehydro-Leu-OH
Description:
Ac-4,5-dehydro-Leu-OH, with the CAS number 88547-24-4, is a synthetic amino acid derivative that is primarily used in biochemical research and peptide synthesis. This compound is characterized by the presence of a dehydro group at the 4 and 5 positions of the leucine side chain, which introduces a double bond and alters its steric and electronic properties compared to standard leucine. The modification can influence the compound's interactions in biological systems, potentially affecting peptide conformation and stability. Ac-4,5-dehydro-Leu-OH is typically utilized in the design of peptides with specific structural or functional attributes, making it valuable in the development of pharmaceuticals and in studies of protein folding and function. Its solubility and reactivity are influenced by the presence of the acyl group and the dehydro modification, which can affect its incorporation into peptides during synthesis. As with many synthetic amino acids, careful handling and storage are recommended to maintain its integrity and effectiveness in research applications.
