Usage

General Description

Ac-DL-Phe-OH, also known as N-acetyl-DL-phenylalanine, is a chemical compound that contains an acetyl group and the amino acid phenylalanine. It is commonly used in the field of biochemical research as a building block for peptide synthesis. Phenylalanine itself is an essential amino acid that serves as a precursor for the synthesis of important neurotransmitters such as dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine. The acetyl group in Ac-DL-Phe-OH provides protection for the amino group during peptide synthesis, allowing for selective deprotection and modification of the peptide chain. Overall, Ac-DL-Phe-OH plays a crucial role in the development of peptides and in the study of various biochemical processes.
