N-terminal Derivatization

Acetylation of peptides is an important posttranslational modification. Possible acetylation sites include any amino groups present in the peptide. For more detailed information about acetylation at side chains, please click here.

Some peptides require for their activation an N-formylation. Furthermore, a formyl group can be used for coupling purposes.
