N-Fmoc-D-alanine is potentially useful for proteomics studies and solid phase peptide synthesis techniques. It is also essential for the biosynthesis of peptidoglycan cross linking sub-units that are used for bacterial cell walls.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
