DL-3,4-Dimethylphenylalanine

Description:
DL-3,4-Dimethylphenylalanine, with the CAS number 103957-56-8, is an amino acid derivative characterized by the presence of two methyl groups on the phenyl ring of the phenylalanine structure. This compound is a non-proteinogenic amino acid, meaning it is not incorporated into proteins during translation. It exhibits properties typical of amino acids, such as the ability to form hydrogen bonds and participate in various biochemical reactions. The presence of the dimethyl groups can influence its hydrophobicity and steric properties, potentially affecting its interactions with proteins and enzymes. DL-3,4-Dimethylphenylalanine may be of interest in research related to drug design, particularly in studies involving receptor binding and the modulation of biological activity. Its structural modifications can lead to variations in pharmacological properties, making it a subject of investigation in medicinal chemistry. As with many amino acid derivatives, it is essential to handle this compound with care, following appropriate safety protocols in laboratory settings.
