Description
Fmoc-L-beta-homoalanine is a modified form of the amino acid beta-homoalanine, which is naturally found in certain fungi, algae, and invertebrates. It is primarily used as a building block for solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) due to its ability to form stable amide bonds. Fmoc-L-beta-homoalanine is also a useful tool in the study of peptide-protein interactions, as it can serve as a non-natural amino acid substitute.
