Azidohomoalanine – 100 mg

Overview

Azidohomoalanine is a unique amino acid that plays a crucial role in Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis (SPPS), making it an essential component for researchers looking to synthesize modifiable side-chain peptides and proteins. It features a side-chain azido (N3) group, known for its stability when exposed to common reagents used in SPPS, such as trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) and piperidine (Pip). This stability facilitates the incorporation of azidohomoalanine into proteins, which can subsequently be modified to achieve specific research outcomes.

Key Features

• Stability in TFA and piperidine, ideal for SPPS
• Facilitates the synthesis of side-chain modifiable peptides
• Can be converted to an amine using Staudinger reduction
• Useful for creating effective IR probes in protein studies
• Available in a convenient 100 mg quantity
