Fmoc-alpha-methyl-DL-methionine

• Catalog Number: ACM147108438
• Product Name: Fmoc-alpha-methyl-DL-methionine
• CAS: 147108-43-8
• Category: Amino Acids
• Description: Fmoc-α-methyl-DL-methionine is a derivative of methionine, an essential amino acid that cannot be synthesized by the human body and must be obtained from dietary sources. Methionine is involved in various biological functions such as protein synthesis, methylation, and sulfur metabolism. Fmoc-α-methyl-DL-methionine is a modified form of methionine, where the alpha carbon is replaced with a methyl group and the amino group is protected with a Fmoc (9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl) group. The Fmoc group can be removed under mildly basic conditions, allowing for the synthesis of peptides and proteins containing Fmoc-α-methyl-DL-methionine.
