Boc-L-His(Boc)-Aib-OH (protected His-Aib dipeptide) is a protected peptide
fragment used in convergent (fragment-condensation) peptide synthesis, which
can improve coupling efficiency and reduce racemisation and deletion risk at
difficult junctions compared with stepwise assembly. Also known as
Boc-His(Boc)-Aib-OH. Side-chain Boc protection is removed together with the
resin cleavage, keeping the deprotection scheme simple. Aib (α-aminoisobutyric
acid) promotes helical conformation and resists enzymatic cleavage, a feature
of several incretin-type peptides. ApiSyn supplies it within a broad protected
amino acid range, so peptide programmes can source building blocks from one
manufacturer.
