Dynamic Duos in Chemistry and Beyond

Dynamic Duos in Chemistry and Beyond

At Chem-Impex, teamwork is more than a value—it’s how we work every day. As a family-run business with leadership from twins, Jamie and Jessica Shah, we know that the best partnerships balance strengths, embrace differences, and drive results. 
 
Saturday, February 22nd is Twins Day! This year we’re thrilled to highlight a new way to elevate your research called "Dynamic Duos"—bundled products designed to work together seamlessly.

Join us in celebrating the strength of partnerships—whether in life or in the lab. 

Today through Feb. 28th, buy any 1 of the products listed below in our duos, and get another 15% off*!

Duo 1: The Peptide Backbones 🏠

Fmoc-L-Alanine (#02369) and Fmoc-Glycine (#02416)Both are essential for peptide backbones that demand minimal steric hindrance and straightforward coupling. Glycine’s side-chain simplicity maximizes flexibility—ideal for loops or turns—while Alanine’s methyl group contributes just enough stability without adding bulk.

 

Duo 2: The Sequencing Masters 🧬

Fmoc-L-Phenylalanine (#02443) and Fmoc-L-Leucine (#00145)

These two excel in sequences where hydrophobic interactions are key. Phenylalanine’s aromatic ring can enable π–π stacking or enhance binding sites, while Leucine’s branched side chain offers robust core stability.
 
Used together, they lay down a strong hydrophobic foundation in peptides and proteins, facilitating predictable folding and functional performance. 

 

Duo 3: The Gatekeepers 🗝️

Nα-Fmoc-Nε-Boc-L-lysine (#00493) and Nα-Fmoc-Nω-(2,2,4,6,7-pentamethyldihydro-benzofuran-5-sulfonyl)-L-arginine (#01964)

Designed for advanced, cationic-rich peptide segments, this duo is all about targeted side-chain protection. Lysine’s Boc group allows selective reactivity and simplified deprotection, while Arg’s PMBF-sulfonyl group offers a high level of specificity and purity.

 

Duo 4: The Armor 🦾

Fmoc-O-tert-butyl-L-serine (#02454) and Fmoc-O-tert-butyl-L-threonine (#02460)

When synthesis calls for protective strategies on hydroxyl-containing amino acids, look to this t-Butyl-tag team. Serine and Threonine—each capped with a tert-butyl group—provide robust side-chain shielding during elongation and easily transition to free hydroxyl form when needed.
 
It’s a reliable, versatile pairing for building stable, functional peptides.
