Fmoc-D-4-Pyridylalanine(CAT: L045055) is a derivative of D-alanine, where the side chain is substituted with a pyridyl group at the 4-position, and the Fmoc (fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl) group is attached to the amine terminus for protection. This compound is commonly used in peptide synthesis, particularly in solid-phase synthesis, where the Fmoc group serves as a temporary protective group for the amine during sequential peptide elongation. The D-configuration provides stereoisomeric variation, which can influence the biological activity and conformation of peptides. The 4-pyridyl group offers additional functionality for interactions in biological systems, making it useful for designing bioactive peptides and studying protein-ligand interactions.
