102185-45-5 Boc-D-N-Me-Phe.DCHA

Peptide Synthesis and Purification:
Boc-D-N-Me-Phe-DCHA can be used as a building block in solid-phase peptide synthesis. Its protected form allows for the sequential addition of amino acids without unwanted side reactions. The salt form (DCHA) often enhances solubility and stability, facilitating purification and isolation of the peptide intermediate during synthesis.
Stereoselective Synthesis:
Since Boc-D-N-Me-Phe-DCHA contains a D-amino acid, it can be used in the synthesis of peptides with a specific chirality (D-configuration). This stereoselective approach is important in certain biological contexts where the stereochemistry of amino acids can affect the function and activity of peptides.
Biological Studies:
Peptides containing Boc-D-N-Me-Phe-DCHA can be used as probes in biological studies to investigate protein-protein interactions, receptor binding, or enzyme inhibition. The D-configuration of the amino acid can provide valuable insights into the structural requirements for biological recognition and function.
Drug Discovery:
Although less common than L-amino acid-based peptides, D-amino acid-containing peptides may have unique pharmacological properties. Boc-D-N-Me-Phe-DCHA could be a component of a peptide drug candidate with novel therapeutic activities.
Material Science Applications:
Peptides and polymers containing Boc-D-N-Me-Phe-DCHA units could be used in materials science applications such as biocompatible hydrogels, tissue engineering scaffolds, or biosensors. The specific chirality and chemical properties of these units could confer unique physical or biological properties to the material.
