2-Aminoheptanoic acid

Description:
2-Aminoheptanoic acid, also known as L-lysine, is an α-amino acid with the chemical formula C7H15NO2. It features a carboxylic acid group (-COOH) and an amino group (-NH2) attached to a seven-carbon aliphatic chain. This compound is characterized by its hydrophilic nature due to the presence of both the amino and carboxylic acid functional groups, which allows it to participate in hydrogen bonding. 2-Aminoheptanoic acid is a chiral molecule, existing in two enantiomeric forms, with the L-form being biologically significant. It is soluble in water and exhibits a high melting point, typical of amino acids. This compound plays a crucial role in biochemistry as a building block for protein synthesis and is involved in various metabolic pathways. Additionally, it is used in nutritional supplements and has applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Its CAS number, 1115-90-8, is a unique identifier that facilitates its identification in chemical databases and regulatory frameworks.
