Product Description
Fmoc-Phe(SO3Na)-OH is a specialized amino acid derivative widely used in solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS). This sulfonated phenylalanine variant offers enhanced solubility in aqueous and organic solvents, making it ideal for challenging peptide sequences. The Fmoc (9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl) protecting group ensures efficient coupling and deprotection during synthesis.
Researchers and students working in biochemistry, pharmacology, or proteomics will find this compound invaluable for synthesizing peptides with improved yield and purity. The sodium sulfonate modification prevents aggregation and improves handling in automated synthesizers.
