Z-Glu(OtBu)-OH is a Cbz (Z)-protected amino acid for
solution-phase peptide synthesis and fragment condensation, where the Cbz group
is removed by hydrogenolysis. The tert-butyl ester side-chain protection stays
intact through chain assembly and is removed in the final TFA cleavage. ApiSyn
can supply it alongside related protected derivatives, which simplifies
sourcing for multi-residue sequences.
