The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.

Fmoc-Asp(OH)-OtBu is a synthetic, non-natural amino acid that has been used in the chemical synthesis of lipoproteins. It was incorporated into recombinant human low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) to study the effect of acidic hydrolysis on their composition. Fmoc-Asp(OH)-OtBu is a fluorescent compound that can be detected using spectroscopy. It is also used as an amino acid residue in solid-phase peptide synthesis to synthesize peptides with an aspartyl residue at the N terminus.

Fmoc-Asp-OtBu

Fmoc-Asp(OtBu)-OH is a chemical compound that belongs to the group of modified amino acids. The synthesis of Fmoc-Asp(OtBu)-OH starts with the reaction of nicotinic acetylcholine, sodium carbonate, and chloride in trifluoroacetic acid. The product is then reacted with a disulfide bond and modified with polymerase chain and saponified. The final modification is achieved by reacting Fmoc-Asp(OtBu)-OH with messenger RNA (mRNA), which produces the desired product. Fmoc-Asp(OtBu)-OH has been shown to have minimal activity, as it does not elute from an ion exchange column under normal conditions. It also has no effect on acetylcholine release in rat hippocampal slices or on morphology when incubated in vitro for 24 hours at 37 degrees Celsius.
