L-Methionine,N-[4-[[(2R)-2-amino-3-mercaptopropyl]amino]benzoyl]-

Description:

L-Methionine, N-[4-[[(2R)-2-amino-3-mercaptopropyl]amino]benzoyl]- is a synthetic compound that features a methionine backbone modified with a benzoyl group and an amino group. This compound is characterized by its amino acid structure, which includes a sulfur atom in the side chain, typical of methionine, contributing to its unique biochemical properties. It is likely to exhibit properties such as solubility in polar solvents due to the presence of amino and carboxyl functional groups, while the benzoyl moiety may enhance its lipophilicity. The compound may play a role in biochemical applications, potentially serving as a building block in peptide synthesis or as a ligand in various biochemical assays. Its specific interactions and stability would depend on the surrounding pH and ionic strength of the solution. As with many amino acid derivatives, it may also exhibit antioxidant properties, which can be beneficial in various biological contexts. Further studies would be necessary to fully elucidate its biological activity and potential applications.
