The 20 Fmoc Standard Amino Acids

The 20 Fmoc Standard Amino Acids

The quality of amino acid building blocks has significant impact on the final peptide purity and yield. Iris Biotech provides all 20 standard amino acids with Fmoc amino protection in high quality from small scale to bulk quantities. Fmoc based amino acids stand out due to their versatility, ease of use, and mild deprotection under basic conditions (e.g. treatment with 20% piperidine in DMF). Furthermore, the fluorenyl group is highly fluorescent thus rendering Fmoc derivatives of UV-inactive compounds also fluorescent.
