Z-Lys(Ac)-NH2

Z-Lys(Ac)-NH2 is a protected lysine derivative presented as a Z (benzyloxycarbonyl/Cbz)-protected amino acid amide, featuring an ε-acetylated side chain on the lysine backbone. The molecule contains an N-terminal carbamate (Z-protecting group) and a carboxamide functionality at the C-terminus (−NH2), while the side chain retains the characteristic lysine carbon chain bearing an acetylated ε-amino group that reduces free amine reactivity. Z-Lys(Ac)-NH2 is used as a peptide synthesis building block or intermediate to control chemoselectivity by masking both the α-amino group and the ε-amino side chain, supporting stepwise assembly and subsequent deprotection strategies in chemical synthesis workflows.

Designed for biological research and industrial applications, not intended for individual clinical or medical purposes.
