Usage

Description

H-CYS(BZL)-GLY-OH is a tripeptide composed of cysteine, benzyl ester, and glycine amino acids. Cysteine, a sulfur-containing amino acid, is crucial for disulfide bond formation in proteins. Glycine, the simplest and most abundant amino acid, plays a significant role in protein and molecule synthesis. The benzyl ester group, derived from benzyl alcohol, acts as a protecting agent in peptide synthesis, preventing unwanted reactions. H-CYS(BZL)-GLY-OH is vital for synthesizing and studying peptides and proteins, with potential applications in pharmaceuticals, biochemistry, and biotechnology.
