Application

Fmoc-β-azido-Ala-OH chloride is a general N-terminal protected reagent used in the solid phase peptide synthesis. Azido group allows it to undergo copper-mediated click chemistry reactions.
It can be used in:
  • Synthesis of α-N-acetylgalactosamine (α-GalNAc) linked antifreeze glycopeptides (AFGPs).
  • Synthesis of stimuli-responsive multifunctional peptide gatekeepers for drug delivery applications.
  • Synthesis of triazole-linked glycopeptides via Cu(I)-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (CuAAC).

Packaging

Bottomless glass bottle. Contents are inside inserted fused cone.
