Cyclohexylglycine（Cat No.:M235148）is a non-natural amino acid where the side chain of glycine is modified with a cyclohexyl group, a six-membered carbon ring. This modification introduces hydrophobic properties to the molecule, influencing its interactions in peptide and protein synthesis. Cyclohexylglycine is often used in peptide chemistry to study the effects of steric hindrance and hydrophobicity on peptide folding, stability, and bioactivity. It is also used in the development of enzyme inhibitors, as its bulky side chain can alter the binding affinity and specificity of enzymes or receptors in biochemical and pharmaceutical research.
