Boc-Tyr(OtBu)-Aib-Gln(Trt)-Gly-OH is a protected tetrapeptide commonly used in peptide synthesis. The Boc (tert-Butoxycarbonyl) group protects the N-terminus of the tyrosine (Tyr) residue, while the OtBu (tert-butyl) group protects its side chain hydroxyl group, preventing premature reactions during synthesis. Aib (α-aminoisobutyric acid), a residue known for promoting helical structures, is the second amino acid in the sequence. The glutamine (Gln) residue has its side chain protected by a Trt (Trityl) group. The final amino acid, glycine (Gly), has a free carboxyl group at the C-terminus, indicated by -OH, which allows for further modifications or coupling reactions. This peptide is used to incorporate tyrosine, Aib, glutamine, and glycine into peptide chains, with strategic protection to ensure controlled and efficient synthesis.
