CAS 114926-37-3

L-3-Methylphenylalanine

Description:

L-3-Methylphenylalanine, with the CAS number 114926-37-3, is an amino acid derivative characterized by the presence of a methyl group at the meta position of the phenyl ring of phenylalanine. This compound is a non-proteinogenic amino acid, meaning it is not incorporated into proteins during translation. It exhibits properties typical of amino acids, such as the ability to form hydrogen bonds and participate in various biochemical reactions. The presence of the methyl group can influence its solubility and reactivity compared to standard phenylalanine. L-3-Methylphenylalanine may have applications in research, particularly in studies related to protein structure and function, as well as in the synthesis of peptides. Its unique structure can also provide insights into the effects of side-chain modifications on biological activity. As with many amino acids, it is important to handle this compound with care, following appropriate safety protocols in laboratory settings.
