The Importance of Ornithine Derivatives in Peptide Chemistry
Ornithine, a non-proteinogenic amino acid, plays a crucial role in various biochemical pathways, including the urea cycle. In the field of peptide chemistry, particularly for solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), protected ornithine derivatives are essential building blocks for creating peptides with unique structural and functional properties. Among these, Fmoc-L-Ornithine Hydrochloride (CAS: 201046-57-3) stands out as a key reagent, offering precise incorporation into peptide sequences.
The Fmoc (9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl) protecting group on the alpha-amino nitrogen of ornithine ensures selective deprotection under basic conditions, while the side chain's primary amine can be protected by other orthogonal groups or left available for specific modifications. This allows researchers and manufacturers to precisely control the peptide assembly process. For instance, incorporating ornithine residues can alter a peptide's charge, hydrophilicity, or biological activity, making it a versatile tool in drug design and biochemical research. When procuring these critical intermediates, understanding their applications and sourcing from reliable manufacturers is paramount.
