N-Benzyl-L-isoleucine（Cat No.:M123825）is a modified version of the amino acid L-isoleucine, where a benzyl group is attached to the amino group. This modification provides steric bulk and alters the reactivity of the amino group, influencing its interactions in peptide synthesis. N-Benzyl-L-isoleucine is often used as a building block in peptide chemistry, particularly when introducing hydrophobic or aromatic interactions into peptides. The benzyl group can also serve as a protecting group during peptide synthesis, allowing for selective functionalization of other residues. It is useful in studying peptide folding, stability, and enzyme-substrate interactions.
