Product Description
Fmoc-Cys(Acm)-OH is a critical building block in peptide synthesis, offering a protected cysteine residue that prevents unwanted side reactions. This high-purity compound is widely used in research labs and pharmaceutical development for synthesizing peptides with cysteine residues. The Fmoc protection group ensures compatibility with standard solid-phase synthesis protocols, while the Acm (acetamidomethyl) group safeguards the thiol functionality until the final deprotection step.
Whether you’re working on therapeutic peptides, protein studies, or biochemical assays, this reagent delivers consistent results. Researchers and students alike rely on its stability and purity to achieve high yields in their experiments. When you buy Fmoc-Cys(Acm)-OH online from eqipped, you get a product sourced from Merck, a trusted name in lab chemicals, ensuring reliability for your critical applications.
Need high-quality reagents for your peptide synthesis? Shop Fmoc-Cys(Acm)-OH 100g now and get it delivered to your lab.
The acetamidomethyl (Acm) protecting group is particularly valuable in peptide chemistry because it remains stable under acidic conditions used in Fmoc deprotection but can be selectively removed with iodine or mercury(II) acetate when needed. This makes it ideal for synthesizing complex peptides where cysteine’s thiol group must be preserved until the final stages.
For labs in India, eqipped provides a seamless way to buy Fmoc-Cys(Acm)-OH online with fast shipping and competitive pricing. Whether you’re a student setting up your first peptide synthesis project or a seasoned researcher scaling up production, this product meets the highest standards for reproducibility and performance.
FAQs
What is Fmoc-Cys(Acm)-OH used for?
It is used in peptide synthesis to introduce cysteine residues while protecting the thiol group with an Acm group, preventing oxidation or side reactions during synthesis.
How do I deprotect the Acm group?
The Acm group can be removed using iodine in acetic acid or mercury(II) acetate, followed by thiol scavengers to prevent disulfide formation.
Is this product suitable for automated peptide synthesizers?
Yes, Fmoc-Cys(Acm)-OH is compatible with standard Fmoc-based SPPS protocols and automated synthesizers.
What is the shelf life of Fmoc-Cys(Acm)-OH?
When stored properly in a desiccator at -20°C, it remains stable for at least 2 years.
Can I buy Fmoc-Cys(Acm)-OH in smaller quantities?
