N-Formyl-L-histidine

Description:
N-Formyl-L-histidine is a derivative of the amino acid histidine, characterized by the presence of a formyl group (-CHO) attached to the nitrogen atom of the imidazole side chain. This modification can influence its biochemical properties and interactions. The compound is typically a white to off-white solid and is soluble in polar solvents such as water and methanol, which is common for many amino acid derivatives. N-Formyl-L-histidine may exhibit biological activity, potentially acting as a signaling molecule or participating in various metabolic pathways. Its structure allows it to engage in hydrogen bonding and other interactions, which can be significant in biological systems. The compound is often used in research settings, particularly in studies related to peptide synthesis and protein modification. As with many amino acid derivatives, its stability and reactivity can be influenced by environmental conditions such as pH and temperature. Safety data should be consulted before handling, as with any chemical substance.
