Q
how to protect nh2 in amino acid
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
Protecting the amino (NH2) group in amino acids is crucial in peptide synthesis to prevent unwanted reactions. This involves temporarily modifying the NH2 group to make it unreactive until the desired step is reached. Common methods include the use of protecting groups like Fmoc (9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl) and Boc (tert-butoxycarbonyl). Fmoc is cleaved under basic conditions, while Boc is removed under acidic conditions. The choice depends on the synthesis strategy and the other functional groups present. These protecting groups allow for selective deprotection and reaction of amino acids in a controlled manner, enabling the synthesis of complex peptides.
