ε-Methyl-L-lysine

Description:

ε-Methyl-L-lysine, with the CAS number 1188-07-4, is an amino acid derivative characterized by the presence of a methyl group attached to the epsilon position of the lysine side chain. This compound is a non-proteinogenic amino acid, meaning it is not incorporated into proteins during translation but can play significant roles in various biochemical processes. ε-Methyl-L-lysine is known for its involvement in the post-translational modification of proteins, particularly in the methylation of lysine residues, which can influence protein function, stability, and interactions. The compound is typically a white crystalline solid and is soluble in water, reflecting its polar nature due to the amino and carboxyl functional groups. Its structural features include an amino group (-NH2), a carboxyl group (-COOH), and a side chain that contains a methyl group, contributing to its unique chemical properties. ε-Methyl-L-lysine is of interest in research related to epigenetics and cellular signaling pathways, as well as in the study of metabolic processes.
