Product Information

• Name: Boc-Met-Enkephalin
• Synonyms: Boc-Tyr-Gly-Gly-Phe-Met-OH H-(Boc)YGGFM-OH
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Boc-Met-Enkephalin is a hexapeptide that is derived from the amino acid Met. It is related to the opioid peptide Met-enkephalin, which has been shown to be involved in pain modulation and emotional responses such as fear and pleasure. Boc-Met-Enkephalin was synthesized by coupling two different fragments through an amide bond. The sequential order of these fragments was determined by high-resolution NMR spectroscopy. The carbonyl groups on the peptides were identified by using heteronuclear 2D correlation experiments. This sequence of carbons was demonstrated with 13C and 15N spectroscopy, in which it was found that there are three molecules of methylene carbon per molecule of Boc-Met-Enkephalin.
