:2,6-DIMETHYL-D-TYROSINE
Description:
2,6-Dimethyl-D-tyrosine is a non-proteinogenic amino acid characterized by the presence of two methyl groups attached to the aromatic ring of the tyrosine structure. This modification can influence its biochemical properties, such as solubility and reactivity. The compound is typically used in research settings, particularly in studies related to protein synthesis and enzyme activity, due to its structural similarity to the standard amino acid tyrosine. The presence of the D-configuration indicates that it is the enantiomer that is not commonly found in natural proteins, which predominantly contain L-amino acids. This stereochemistry can affect its interaction with biological systems, making it a valuable tool for investigating the role of tyrosine in various biochemical pathways. Additionally, 2,6-dimethyl-D-tyrosine may exhibit unique pharmacological properties, potentially influencing neurotransmitter synthesis or acting as a precursor in metabolic pathways. Its CAS number, 136771-16-9, allows for precise identification in chemical databases and literature.
