4-Amino-4-phenylbutanoic acid

Description:
4-Amino-4-phenylbutanoic acid, also known as phenylalanine derivative, is an amino acid characterized by its structure, which includes an amino group (-NH2), a carboxylic acid group (-COOH), and a phenyl group attached to a butanoic acid backbone. This compound is typically a white crystalline solid and is soluble in water due to the presence of the polar amino and carboxylic acid functional groups. It exhibits properties typical of amino acids, such as the ability to participate in peptide bond formation, making it relevant in biochemical applications. The presence of the phenyl group contributes to its hydrophobic characteristics, influencing its interactions in biological systems. 4-Amino-4-phenylbutanoic acid is often studied for its potential roles in neurotransmission and as a building block in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals. Additionally, it may exhibit biological activity, including effects on metabolic pathways, although specific biological properties can vary based on the context of its use.
