GAMMA-METHYL-L-LEUCINE

Description:
Gamma-methyl-L-leucine, also known as 4-methyl-L-leucine, is an amino acid derivative characterized by its branched-chain structure. It is a non-proteinogenic amino acid, meaning it is not incorporated into proteins during translation but can play significant roles in various biological processes. This compound features a chiral center, resulting in two enantiomers, with the L-form being the biologically active variant. Gamma-methyl-L-leucine is known for its potential applications in biochemistry and pharmaceuticals, particularly in studies related to metabolic pathways and protein synthesis. Its unique structure allows it to influence protein folding and stability, making it of interest in research on enzyme activity and metabolic regulation. Additionally, it may exhibit properties that could be beneficial in drug design and development. As with many amino acids, it is soluble in water, and its behavior in solution can be influenced by factors such as pH and temperature. Overall, gamma-methyl-L-leucine represents a valuable compound in both academic research and potential therapeutic applications.
