Product Information

• Name: Fmoc-L-Cys(Allocam)-OH
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Fmoc-L-Cys(Allocam)-OH is a synthetic amino acid that is used as a building block for the synthesis of peptides, which are short chains of amino acids. It is used in organic synthesis to introduce a disulfide linkage, which can be cleaved by reducing agents such as dithiothreitol or mercaptoethanol. This amino acid has been shown to be more stable than cysteine, with an increased resistance to oxidation and reduction. Fmoc-L-Cys(Allocam)-OH can be used as a reagent for the synthesis of polypeptides, which are proteins composed of shorter peptide chains. The design strategy for this compound includes both constant and variable regions in the polypeptide chain to allow for the introduction of desired amino acid sequences.
