methyl D-asparaginate

Description:

Methyl D-asparaginate is a chemical compound that is a derivative of the amino acid aspartic acid. It is characterized by the presence of a methyl ester group attached to the D-enantiomer of aspartic acid. This compound is often studied in the context of neurobiology and biochemistry due to its potential role as a neurotransmitter or neuromodulator. Methyl D-asparaginate is soluble in water and exhibits polar characteristics, which facilitate its interaction with biological systems. Its molecular structure includes a carboxyl group, an amino group, and a side chain that contributes to its functional properties. The compound is of interest in research related to synaptic transmission and may have implications in understanding various neurological conditions. Additionally, it can be synthesized through esterification reactions involving D-aspartic acid and methanol. As with many amino acid derivatives, it is important to handle methyl D-asparaginate with care in laboratory settings, adhering to safety protocols to avoid potential hazards.

Applications D-Asparagine Methyl Ester is a protected form of D-Asparagine (A788960) which is an isomer of L-Asparagine (A790005). L-Asparagine is used by bacteria (such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae) as a sole nitrogen source for replication. L-Asparagine is also a competitive inhibitor of staphylococcal L-asparaginase and is used as a reagent to synthesize peptide antibiotics.
