Cbz-MeGly(heptene)-OH is a protected amino acid derivative used in peptide synthesis. The Cbz (carbobenzyloxy) group serves as a protective group for the amino terminus, preventing unwanted reactions during synthesis. MeGly refers to N-methylglycine, a simple amino acid derivative, and (heptene) indicates the presence of a heptene moiety, likely modifying the side chain for added hydrophobicity or reactivity. This compound is useful in creating modified peptides with specific structural or functional properties.
