H-Arg-OMe·2HCl by Molecular Depot is a H-Arg-OMe dihydrochloride, which is L-arginine methyl ester as its dihydrochloride salt. Esterifying the carboxyl group blocks it, so the amino acid can only be extended at its amino end, and the two hydrochlorides account for the guanidinium group as well as the amine. It is used as a building block in peptide synthesis, as a substrate in esterase and protease assays and as a reference compound in amino acid chemistry. Each unit contains 100 mg. MBP supplies Molecular Depot research reagents to research labs in the United States, Canada and worldwide.
