N-Acetylglycine(Cat No.: R024053), also known as aceturic acid, is a simple N-acylated derivative of the amino acid glycine. It features an acetyl group bonded to the nitrogen atom, which modulates its reactivity and solubility. N-Acetylglycine is commonly used as an intermediate in peptide synthesis, pharmaceutical research, and as a building block for more complex organic compounds. Its structural simplicity and stability make it useful in studying amino acid metabolism, designing drug candidates, and developing bioactive molecules in medicinal and biochemical applications.
