Product Information

• Name: Fmoc-L-norleucine
• Synonyms: Fmoc-L-Nle-OHFmoc-L-2-aminohexanoic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Fmoc-L-norleucine is a non-natural amino acid that can be used to study the interactions of proteins with cellular receptors. It is synthesized from methylandrostenediol and caproic acid, which are then reacted with sodium salt. The resultant product contains a tertiary amine group that interacts with the surface receptor. Fmoc-L-norleucine has shown affinity for endogenous ligands such as nucleobases and phospholipids on cell membranes. In addition, it has been shown to interact with other proteins through its side chain, including erythrocyte band 3 protein. Fmoc-L-norleucine also has a high affinity for binding to divalent metal ions such as calcium and magnesium in aqueous solution, giving it potential applications in the field of analytical chemistry.
