Fmoc-Protected Amino Acids in Peptide Synthesis
# Fmoc-Protected Amino Acids in Peptide Synthesis ## Introduction to Fmoc-Protected Amino Acids Fmoc-protected amino acids play a crucial role in modern peptide synthesis. The Fmoc (9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl) group serves as a temporary protecting group for the amino terminus during solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS). This protection strategy has become increasingly popular since its introduction in the…
