Product Information

• Name: Z-Gln-Gly-OH
• Synonyms: Cbz-L-Gln-Gly-OH N2-[(Phenylmethoxy)carbonyl]-L-glutaminylglycine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Z-Gln-Gly-OH is a synthetic dipeptide, which is a modified amino acid sequence commonly used in biochemical applications. It consists of a carbobenzoxy-protected glutamine and a glycine residue. This compound originates from custom organic synthesis, derived through specific chemical protocols to introduce protective groups that block reactive sites on the amino acids. This controlled modification alters the peptide's stability and solubility.The mode of action involves the protection of active sites during complex syntheses, enabling the sequential construction of peptide chains without unintended reactions. This protection is critical in solid-phase peptide synthesis methodologies where precision and specificity of reactions are paramount. The Z-group (benzyloxycarbonyl) ensures the stability of glutamine under various chemical conditions, preventing side reactions that may compromise the integrity of peptide constructs.In research, Z-Gln-Gly-OH finds applications in the design of peptide-based inhibitors, structural studies, and the synthesis of longer chain peptides that mimic biologically relevant structures. The protection strategy allows scientists to develop and manipulate peptides with high fidelity, facilitating advancements in understanding protein functions and interactions in physiological contexts.
