Fmoc-N-(2,4-dimethoxybenzyl)-Gly-OH is an Fmoc protected glycine derivative useful for proteomics studies and solid phase peptide synthesis techniques. Glycine is the simplest, and least sterically hindered of the amino acids, which confers a high level of flexibility when incorporated into polypeptides. This compound could be useful as an unusual amino acid analog to aid in the deconvolution of protein structure and function.
