4-Bromophenylalanine

Description:

4-Bromophenylalanine is an amino acid derivative characterized by the presence of a bromine atom attached to the phenyl ring at the para position relative to the amino group. Its molecular formula is C9H10BrNO2, indicating it contains a bromine atom, a carboxylic acid group, and an amino group, which are typical features of amino acids. This compound is often used in biochemical research, particularly in studies involving protein synthesis and modification, as it can serve as a building block for peptides and proteins. The presence of the bromine atom can influence the compound's reactivity and interactions with biological systems. 4-Bromophenylalanine is typically a white to off-white solid and is soluble in polar solvents. Its unique properties make it valuable in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals and in the study of protein structure and function. As with many brominated compounds, it is essential to handle it with care due to potential toxicity and environmental concerns.

4-Bromophenylalanine

CAS: 14091-15-7

4-Bromophenylalanine is a chemical compound that can be used as a spectroscopic probe to study the dynamics of protein synthesis. It is derived from 4-bromobenzaldehyde, which is oxidized by hydrogen peroxide in the presence of cytochrome P450 reductase and NADPH, yielding 4-bromophenylalanine. This compound has been shown to inhibit protein synthesis by binding reversibly to the synthetase during its synthetic cycle. The binding of 4-bromophenylalanine inhibits the synthesis of peptides with a C-terminal amide group. This inhibition leads to a decrease in the amount of functional groups present in proteins and an increase in the amount of buffers. These effects have been demonstrated through modelling studies using both model organisms and buffer solutions.
