:D-Isoleucine, methyl ester
Description:
D-Isoleucine, methyl ester is an amino acid derivative characterized by its structure, which includes a branched-chain aliphatic side group typical of isoleucine. As a methyl ester, it features a methoxy group (-OCH3) attached to the carboxylic acid functional group of isoleucine, enhancing its solubility in organic solvents. This compound is typically used in biochemical research and synthesis, particularly in the study of peptides and proteins. It exhibits properties such as chirality, with the D-configuration indicating that it is one of the two enantiomers of isoleucine. D-Isoleucine, methyl ester is generally stable under standard conditions but may undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water or under acidic or basic conditions, reverting to D-isoleucine. Its applications extend to pharmaceuticals and nutritional supplements, where it may play a role in metabolic processes. As with many amino acid derivatives, it is important to handle this compound with care, following appropriate safety protocols in laboratory settings.
