Boc-D-norleucine（Cat No.:I043297）is a derivative of norleucine, where the D-enantiomer of the amino acid is protected by a tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) group at the N-terminal. The Boc group prevents unwanted reactions during peptide synthesis, particularly in solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS). The carboxyl group of norleucine remains free for coupling with other amino acids to form peptide chains. D-norleucine, a non-natural amino acid similar to leucine, is often incorporated into peptides to alter their hydrophobicity, structure, and bioactivity. This compound is valuable in peptide synthesis, drug discovery, and research applications.
