Product Description
Fmoc-Thr(Tbu)-Opfp is a high-quality protected amino acid derivative widely used in peptide synthesis. This compound features the Fmoc (9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl) protecting group on the amino terminus and a tert-butyl (tBu) group on the threonine side chain, ensuring stability during synthesis. The pentafluorophenyl (OPfp) ester enhances coupling efficiency, making it a preferred choice for researchers and laboratories.
Whether you’re working on pharmaceutical research, biochemistry, or academic projects, this reagent delivers consistent results. The 5g pack size is ideal for small to medium-scale experiments, providing enough material for multiple syntheses without excessive waste.
At eqipped, we ensure that all our lab supplies meet stringent quality standards. This product is sourced from Merck, a trusted name in chemical reagents, guaranteeing reliability and performance in your experiments.
Key Applications
Fmoc-Thr(Tbu)-Opfp is commonly used in:
- Solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS)
- Protein and enzyme research
- Pharmaceutical development
- Biochemical assays requiring protected amino acids
Its high purity and stability make it suitable for both manual and automated peptide synthesizers, ensuring minimal side reactions and high yield.
Why This Product Stands Out
Unlike generic alternatives, this Merck-sourced Fmoc-Thr(Tbu)-Opfp offers superior coupling efficiency due to the OPfp ester. The tBu protection on threonine prevents unwanted side reactions, while the Fmoc group allows for easy deprotection under mild conditions. This balance of protection and reactivity is crucial for successful peptide synthesis.
Researchers in India trust eqipped for authentic lab supplies, and this product is no exception. Whether you’re a student, educator, or professional scientist, you can rely on its performance.
