BOC-D-3-Methylphenylalanine (BOC-D-3-Methylphe)(CAT: M027429) is a protected form of the amino acid D-3-methylphenylalanine, where the amino group is safeguarded by a tert-butyloxycarbonyl (BOC) group. This protection helps prevent unwanted reactions at the amino group during peptide synthesis, allowing precise incorporation of the D-stereoisomer of 3-methylphenylalanine into peptides and other organic molecules. The presence of a methyl group on the phenyl ring adds steric bulk, which can influence the biological properties and binding characteristics of the resulting peptides or compounds. BOC-D-3-Methylphe is widely used in research focusing on peptide synthesis, drug design, and the study of protein-ligand interactions, as it helps in exploring the effects of stereochemistry and substitution on biological activity.
