General Description
Fmoc-D-Asp(OtBu)-OH is a chemical compound used in the synthesis of peptides. It consists of an amino acid, aspartic acid, with a modified protective group called tert-butoxycarbonyl (OtBu) attached to the side chain, and a fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl (Fmoc) group attached to the amino group. The Fmoc group is used to protect the amine group during the peptide synthesis process, while the OtBu group is used to protect the carboxylic acid group of the aspartic acid. Fmoc-D-Asp(OtBu)-OH is commonly used in solid-phase peptide synthesis to build peptides with the specific sequence and structure.
