N-Acetyl-D-methionine（Cat No.:M050494）is a modified form of D-methionine, where an acetyl group is attached to the amino group at the N-terminal position. This acetylation provides protection to the amino group, preventing unwanted reactions during peptide synthesis and influencing solubility and reactivity. N-Acetyl-D-methionine is used in peptide synthesis to introduce acetylated methionine residues, which can affect peptide folding, stability, and interactions. It is useful in studies on protein structure, enzymatic activity, and cellular processes, particularly in research investigating the role of acetylation in regulating protein function and gene expression.
