N-Fmoc-L-cysteine - Introduction
Fmoc-L-Cysteine is an amino acid derivative with the following properties:
1. properties: Fmoc-L-cysteine is a white crystalline powder, can be dissolved in some organic solvents, such as dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and dichloromethane (DCM). Its chemical structure contains the side chain of cysteine, and the N-terminal carboxyl group is attached with Fmoc protecting group.
2. Uses: Fmoc-L-cysteine is widely used in chemical synthesis. It is often used in peptide, protein synthesis and other fields, as part of the amino acid into the target molecule. Due to the special properties of cysteine, Fmoc-L-cysteine can also be used to construct disulfide bonds.
3. Preparation method: Fmoc-L-cysteine is usually prepared by chemical synthesis. A common synthetic method is to react the Fmoc-protected cysteine with other raw materials, and through a series of reaction steps, the target product is finally obtained.
4. Safety Information: The use of Fmoc-L-cysteine needs to follow some safety procedures. It may cause irritation to the skin, eyes and respiratory tract, so it is necessary to wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves, goggles and masks when handling. In addition, Fmoc-L-cysteine needs to be kept dry and protected from moisture and heat sources to prevent its degradation and decomposition to produce harmful substances. The safety data form provided by the manufacturer should be read carefully before use.
