Product Information

• Name: Fmoc-Lys(Fmoc)-OH
• Synonyms: Na,N?-Di-Fmoc-L-lysine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Fmoc-Lys(Fmoc)-OH is an ester of lysine that is used in peptide synthesis. It has shown to have antimicrobial properties against bacteria and fungi. Fmoc-Lys(Fmoc)-OH has been found to be taken up by cancer cells, suggesting that it may have anticancer effects. It has also been found to inhibit the growth of bladder cancer cells as well as histidine aminopeptidase from the cell surface. Fmoc-Lys(Fmoc)-OH is stable in trifluoroacetic acid, making it a good candidate for solid-phase synthesis. This product can be synthesized by attaching the amino acid lysine to an ester linker with a fluorinated side chain. The product is then linked end-to-end via intramolecular hydrogen bonds and chemical stability is achieved through covalent amide bond formation between Lys and Fmoc groups
