6-Fluorotryptophan（Cat No.:R065606）is a fluorinated tryptophan analog used in biochemical research, protein engineering, and drug discovery. The fluorine substitution at the 6-position enhances metabolic stability, bioavailability, and binding interactions, making it valuable in enzyme inhibition, neurotransmitter studies, and fluorinated peptide synthesis. This compound is widely applied in structural biology, fluorescence-based assays, and metabolic labeling, where fluorination helps probe protein-ligand interactions and enzyme function. It is particularly useful in neuroscience, cancer research, and synthetic biology, aiding in the development of fluorinated pharmaceuticals and biomolecular studies.
