In the dynamic field of peptide synthesis, precision and control are paramount. For researchers and manufacturers looking to create complex and functional peptides, the choice of building blocks significantly impacts the outcome. Among these, Fmoc-D-Lys(Alloc)-OH stands out as a versatile and critical component. As a premier manufacturer and supplier, we at NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. are dedicated to providing high-purity reagents that empower your scientific endeavors.

Fmoc-D-Lys(Alloc)-OH is a derivative of D-lysine, an enantiomer of the common amino acid lysine. What makes it particularly valuable is its unique dual protection strategy. The alpha-amino group is protected by the Fmoc (9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl) group, a standard in solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) known for its mild base-lability. Simultaneously, the epsilon-amino group on the lysine side chain is protected by the Alloc (allyloxycarbonyl) group. This latter group is the key to its exceptional utility due to its orthogonal deprotection capability.

The term 'orthogonal protection' refers to the ability to remove one protecting group selectively without affecting the other. In the case of Fmoc-D-Lys(Alloc)-OH, the Fmoc group can be cleaved using common reagents like piperidine, while the Alloc group can be removed under completely different conditions – typically palladium-catalyzed reactions. This orthogonality is a game-changer for peptide chemists. It allows for stepwise modification of the peptide chain, enabling:

  • Selective Side-Chain Functionalization: After removing the Fmoc group and coupling the next amino acid, the Alloc group on the lysine side chain remains intact. This free epsilon-amino group can then be selectively functionalized with various tags, labels, drugs, or conjugation partners before the final peptide is assembled.
  • Creation of Branched Peptides: By strategically incorporating Fmoc-D-Lys(Alloc)-OH and deprotecting the Alloc group at a specific stage, researchers can initiate a second peptide chain from the lysine side chain, leading to branched peptide structures.
  • Peptide Cyclization: The epsilon-amino group can also be utilized to form cyclic peptides, which often exhibit enhanced stability and biological activity compared to their linear counterparts.
