(S)-2-Amino-3,3-dimethylbutanoic acid（Cat No.:R035502）is a branched-chain amino acid derivative featuring a methyl group at the 3-position of the butanoic acid side chain. The (S)-enantiomer is important for its stereochemical specificity, particularly in peptide synthesis and biochemical research. The dimethyl group increases the hydrophobic nature of the molecule, influencing the stability and folding of peptides containing this amino acid. This compound is valuable in the synthesis of peptides, protein engineering, and drug development, especially for creating bioactive peptides with specific structural and functional properties.
