General Description
Fmoc-Gly-Arg(Pbf)-OH is a protected dipeptide building block featuring an Fmoc group on the glycine and a Pbf (2,2,4,6,7-pentamethyldihydrobenzofuran-5-sulfonyl) group on the arginine side chain.
Mechanism of Action
It serves as a pre-formed fragment for SPPS. The Pbf group is the most effective protector for the guanidino group of arginine, offering high stability during synthesis and rapid removal during TFA cleavage.
Application
It is utilized to streamline the synthesis of arginine-rich peptides, such as cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) and RGD-containing therapeutic leads.
