CAS:2-Cyclopropylglycine is a cyclic amino acid that is synthesized from threonine. It is an important intermediate in the biosynthesis of the aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases. The synthesis of 2-cyclopropylglycine begins with the conversion of threonine to homoserine by a series of reactions called the threonine deaminase pathway. Homoserine is converted to 3-hydroxy-2-methylvaleric acid by hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA synthase and then to 2-cyclopropylglycine by cyclopropane carboxylic acid reductase, which reduces it to 2-cyclopropylmalonic acid, which is then converted to 2-cyclopropylglycine. This compound binds borohydride and forms an unstable complex with phenolic compounds. The affinity for these substrates depends on the pyrroline ring structure, with
