FAQs
What is Boc-Met-OH used for?
Boc-Met-OH is primarily used in peptide synthesis to protect the methionine residue during chain assembly. It’s essential for preventing side reactions and ensuring accurate peptide sequences.
How do I deprotect Boc-Met-OH?
The Boc group can be removed using mild acidic conditions, such as trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in dichloromethane (DCM). This step is typically performed after peptide elongation.
Is Boc-Met-OH suitable for Fmoc-based synthesis?
Yes, Boc-Met-OH can be used alongside Fmoc-protected amino acids, though the deprotection conditions differ. Boc is acid-labile, while Fmoc is base-labile.
What is the shelf life of Boc-Met-OH?
When stored properly, Boc-Met-OH has a shelf life of 2–3 years. Always check the manufacturer’s expiry date and store it under recommended conditions.
Can I buy Boc-Met-OH in smaller quantities?
eqipped offers Boc-Met-OH in a 25g pack size, ideal for research and small-scale applications. For bulk requirements, contact our support team for custom quotes.
