Boc-L-Nitroarginine

Boc-L-Nitroarginine is a protected derivative of the amino acid arginine, commonly employed in solid-phase peptide synthesis. Its structure features a tert-butyloxycarbonyl (Boc) protecting group on the alpha-amino group and a nitro-guanidino moiety on the side chain, which facilitates selective incorporation of arginine residues during peptide assembly.
