Boc-Met-OH

Advance your peptide synthesis and biochemical research with Boc-Met-OH (CAS No.: 2488-15-5, CAT No.: SRCB-064), a high-purity N-tert-butoxycarbonyl protected L-methionine derivative. This protected amino acid features a Boc group on the α-amino terminus, preserving the sulfur-containing side chain of methionine and enabling selective peptide bond formation with minimized racemization and side reactions.

Boc-Met-OH serves as a fundamental building block for both solid-phase and solution-phase peptide synthesis, facilitating the preparation of methionine-containing peptides, peptidomimetics, and bioactive molecules. The molecular formula is C₁₁H₂₁NO₄S and the molecular weight is 247.35 g/mol. It is typically supplied as a white to off-white crystalline powder with excellent purity (≥98%) and solubility in common peptide synthesis solvents such as DMF, DCM, and methanol.
