N-Acetyl-R-leucine（Cat No.:I043228）is a modified form of the amino acid R-leucine, where an acetyl group is attached to the amino group at the N-terminal position. This acetylation provides a protective group, preventing unwanted reactions during peptide synthesis and influencing the compound’s solubility and stability. N-Acetyl-R-leucine is used in peptide synthesis to introduce acetylated leucine residues, which can affect peptide folding, interactions, and function. It is also used in research to study the role of acetylation in protein structure, enzyme activity, and cellular processes such as protein trafficking and gene expression regulation.
