Product Description
Fmoc-D-Cys(Trt)-OH is a premium-grade amino acid derivative widely used in peptide synthesis. The Fmoc (9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl) protecting group ensures compatibility with standard Fmoc-based synthesis protocols, while the trityl (Trt) protection on the cysteine side chain prevents unwanted oxidation or dimerization during coupling steps.
This compound is particularly valuable in the synthesis of complex peptides, where cysteine residues require precise protection to avoid side reactions. Researchers and students working in biochemistry, pharmaceutical development, or proteomics rely on Fmoc-D-Cys(Trt)-OH for its high purity and consistent performance in both manual and automated synthesis setups.
At eqipped, we provide this Merck-sourced reagent in a convenient 5g pack size, ensuring you have the right quantity for small-scale experiments or pilot studies. Whether you’re synthesizing therapeutic peptides or studying protein structures, this product delivers the reliability you need.

Key Applications
Fmoc-D-Cys(Trt)-OH is essential for:
- Solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS)
- Solution-phase peptide assembly
- Disulfide bond formation studies
- Protein engineering research
Why This Product Stands Out
Unlike generic cysteine derivatives, this Merck-certified compound offers:
- High chemical stability during storage and synthesis
- Minimal racemization risk during coupling
- Compatibility with standard Fmoc deprotection conditions
Safety and Handling
As with all peptide synthesis reagents, proper handling is crucial. Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture. Use in a well-ventilated area with appropriate PPE (gloves, lab coat, goggles).
FAQs
What is the shelf life of Fmoc-D-Cys(Trt)-OH?
When stored under recommended conditions (desiccated, -20°C), this product maintains stability for up to 2 years.
Can I use this for automated peptide synthesizers?
Yes, Fmoc-D-Cys(Trt)-OH is fully compatible with most automated SPPS systems using standard Fmoc protocols.
Is this product suitable for disulfide bridge formation?
Absolutely. The Trt protection allows controlled deprotection for disulfide bond formation in later synthesis steps.
What’s the typical coupling efficiency with this reagent?
Under optimized conditions, coupling efficiencies exceed 98% for most standard amino acid sequences.
