carbobenzoxyphenylalanylglycine

Carbobenzoxyphenylalanylglycine (Z-Phe-Gly) is a dipeptide, a molecule composed of two amino acids, phenylalanine and glycine, linked by a peptide bond. The carbobenzoxy (Z) group protects the amino group of phenylalanine. Z-Phe-Gly is a key intermediate in the synthesis of various peptides and is often used in peptide synthesis as a starting material or building block. Its synthesis typically involves coupling of the protected amino acid, Z-Phe, with glycine. Z-Phe-Gly is a valuable tool in medicinal chemistry and biochemistry, as it can be used to study peptide structure, function, and interactions. It is also an important component of various pharmaceuticals, including antibiotics and antivirals.'
