Fmoc protected amino acid

Manufactured by Chem-Impex
Sourced in United States, Israel

Fmoc-protected amino acids are a class of chemical compounds used as building blocks in the synthesis of peptides and proteins. They consist of an amino acid with a Fmoc (fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl) protecting group attached to the amino group, which allows for controlled and stepwise assembly of peptide chains.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
