:N-Formylalanine
Description:
N-Formylalanine is an amino acid derivative characterized by the presence of a formyl group (-CHO) attached to the amino acid alanine. It is a white to off-white solid that is soluble in water and polar organic solvents. The molecular structure features a central carbon atom bonded to an amino group (-NH2), a carboxyl group (-COOH), a hydrogen atom, and a formyl group, making it a unique compound in biochemical applications. N-Formylalanine is often used in peptide synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of various pharmaceuticals. Its reactivity is influenced by the functional groups present, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, including condensation and acylation. Additionally, it plays a role in biological systems, particularly in the context of protein synthesis and modification. Due to its specific structure, N-Formylalanine can also serve as a substrate for enzymes and may have implications in metabolic pathways. As with many amino acid derivatives, it is important to handle N-Formylalanine with care, adhering to safety protocols in laboratory settings.
