FMOC-L-LYS(NVOC)-OH

Application

Fmoc-L-Lys(Nvoc)-OH is a lysine derivative compatible with solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS). The photolabile, N-terminal protecting group nitroveratryloxycarbonyl (NVOC) can be cleaved by photolysis at 350 nm. Photocaged amino acids such as these are useful in the synthesis of photocleavable chemical tools for spatial and temporal control over released molecules in biological applications.
