N-Boc-L-lysine is a protected analogue of a major amino acid participating in the binding of AcH to proteins. N-Boc-L-lysine as well as other t-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) amino acids can be converted to their respective amino acids via cleavage of the urethane bond.
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.
