2-Aminooctanoic acid
Fatty acids
2-Aminooctanoic acid, also known as DL-α-Aminocaprylic acid, targets fatty acids and possesses an amino functional group that facilitates direct coupling with antimicrobial peptides (AMP) derived from lactoferrin B. This coupling enhances the antibacterial activity of the resulting conjugates, making it a valuable reagent for studies in antimicrobial research and peptide synthesis. Its applications extend to the development of potent antibacterial agents and the exploration of peptide-related therapeutic strategies.
