The Importance of 6-Aminohexanoic Acid as a Hydrophobic, Flexible Structural Element
6-aminohexanoic acid is an ω-amino acid with a hydrophobic, flexible structure. Although the ω-amino acid in question is mainly used clinically as an antifibrinolytic drug, other applications are also interesting and important. This synthetic lysine derivative, without an α-amino group, plays a sign...
