(tert-Butoxycarbonyl)methionine (Boc-methionine)（Cat No.:I043006）is a derivative of the amino acid methionine, where the amino group is protected by a tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) group. This protection allows for the selective synthesis of peptides, as the Boc group prevents unwanted reactions at the amino terminus during peptide chain assembly. Boc-methionine is commonly used in solid-phase peptide synthesis, providing stability and control over the reaction process. Once peptide synthesis is complete, the Boc group can be removed, leaving methionine available for incorporation into the final peptide. It is widely used in peptide chemistry and pharmaceutical research.
