N-BOC-5-methyl-L-tryptophan（Cat No.:M016734） is a derivative of the essential amino acid tryptophan, modified with a tert-butoxycarbonyl (BOC) protecting group and a methyl group at the 5 position of the indole ring. The BOC group is commonly used in peptide synthesis to protect the amino group during the coupling reactions, preventing unwanted side reactions. The addition of a methyl group at the 5 position can influence the compound’s electronic and steric properties, potentially affecting its biological activity. This compound is typically used in research to study peptide structures and functions or in the development of pharmaceuticals.
