Fmoc-L-Lys(N3-Aca-DIM)-OH

Fmoc-L-Lys(N3-Aca-DIM)-OH is a click chemistry reagent containing an azide group. Used as a SPPS building-block for the “helping hand” strategy for purification of highly insoluble peptides. Solubilizing residues are attached to the Lys side-chains using Click-chemistry. The solubilizing tag can be removed with 1M hydrazine or hydroxylamine solution[1]. It contains an azide group and can undergo copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAc) with molecules containing alkyne groups. It can also undergo ring strain-promoted alkyne-azide cycloaddition (SPAAC) with molecules containing DBCO or BCN groups.
