Amino Acids
Oakwood Chemical provides scientists with high quality materials for applications needing amino acids, coupling reagents, solvents, solid-phase synthesis supports,“tailor-made”† amino acid analogs, and other critical laboratory chemicals. Oakwood offers L- and D-amino acids with and without protecting groups, and amino acids with different combinations of protecting groups for the amino or carboxyl end moieties and side chains. We also sell analytical grade solvents and reagents for purification and final analysis of your end products.
Whether you are using automated synthesizers and other traditional peptide synthesis methods, needing amino acids for biochemical studies, or introducing amino acids and analogs into pharmaceutical libraries, Oakwood Chemical offers bench top to process quantity amounts of the necessary reagents. We sell these reagents in a variety of grades (reagent, ACS, USP, EP, HPLC, peptide synthesis, biochemical) with detailed certificates of analysis. In addition, we offer several of these amino acids from natural and 100% synthetic sources.
All our chemicals come with Certificates of analysis, as well as nitrosamine, GMO, certificates of origin and BSE/TSE statements, especially important with materials such as amino acids, which may come from natural sources and be used in pharmaceutical applications.
Please find below a full list of Amino Acids that Oakwood Chemical offers our clients. Each amino acid and reagent class listed will take you to its respective page, which lists our current availability for that class for your application use.
†The term ”Tailor-made” amino acids comes from recent review articles written by Oakwood scientists in collaboration with Professor Vadim A. Soloshonok, Oakwood Scientific advisor. See “Tailor-Made Amino Acids and Fluorinated Motifs as Prominent Traits in the Modern Pharmaceuticals,” Chem. Eur. J. (2020) 10.1002/chem.202000617; “Cyclic tailor-made amino acids in the design of modern pharmaceuticals,” Eur. J. Med. Chem. (2020) 208, 112736, for a thorough explanation of Professor Soloshonok’s and colleagues’ rationale for the term.
