Product Description
Fmoc-Cys(Acm)-OH is a high-quality cysteine derivative widely used in peptide synthesis. The Fmoc (9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl) protecting group ensures compatibility with solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), while the acetamidomethyl (Acm) group protects the thiol side chain, preventing unwanted disulfide bond formation during synthesis.
This reagent is essential for researchers and students working on custom peptide sequences, therapeutic peptides, or biochemical studies. Its purity and stability make it a reliable choice for both academic and industrial labs. Whether you’re synthesizing small peptides or complex proteins, Fmoc-Cys(Acm)-OH delivers consistent results.

The acetamidomethyl (Acm) group is particularly useful because it remains stable under acidic conditions used in Fmoc deprotection but can be selectively removed later with iodine or mercury(II) acetate. This makes it ideal for synthesizing peptides requiring controlled disulfide bridge formation.
At eqipped, we ensure that every batch of Fmoc-Cys(Acm)-OH meets stringent quality standards, so you can focus on your research without worrying about reagent reliability. Our packaging is designed to maintain stability during transit, ensuring you receive the product in optimal condition.
