Bulk Quantity N-AcetyI-L-Tryptophan 丨CAS 1218-34-4
N-Acetyl-L-Tryptophan is an acetylated derivative of L-tryptophan, an aromatic amino acid characterized by its indole ring structure. The addition of an acetyl group modifies the amino functionality while retaining the compound's characteristic tryptophan framework. This combination of structural features makes N-Acetyl-L-Tryptophan relevant to amino acid research, biochemical studies, and the synthesis of specialized organic compounds.
