Fmoc-L-Cys(Azidoethyl)-OH: Overview and Applications
Fmoc-L-Cys(Azidoethyl)-OH, CAS 3029657-80-2, is a modified cysteine derivative with an azidoethyl group and an Fmoc protecting group. It is widely used in peptide synthesis and bioconjugation due to its azide functionality.
Key Features:
- Fmoc Protection: Protects the amino group of cysteine for selective coupling during peptide synthesis.
- Azidoethyl Group: Provides a reactive site for click chemistry, facilitating biomolecule conjugation.
- Versatility: Useful for incorporating azide into peptides for drug development and protein labeling.
Applications:
- Peptide Synthesis: Integrates azido functionality into peptides using solid-phase synthesis.
- Bioconjugation: Forms stable conjugates with alkyne-containing molecules through click chemistry.
- Targeted Delivery: Aids in developing targeted drug delivery systems and imaging probes.
Fmoc-L-Cys(Azidoethyl)-OH is a valuable reagent for creating functionalized peptides and exploring new therapeutic strategies.
