2-Iodo-L-Phenylalanine

Description:
2-Iodo-L-Phenylalanine is a modified amino acid that features an iodine atom substituted at the second position of the phenylalanine side chain. This compound is characterized by its unique structural properties, which include a phenyl group attached to the alpha carbon of the amino acid backbone, along with an iodine atom that can influence its reactivity and interactions in biochemical systems. The presence of the iodine atom can enhance the compound's hydrophobicity and may affect its ability to participate in hydrogen bonding and other intermolecular interactions. 2-Iodo-L-Phenylalanine is often utilized in biochemical research, particularly in studies involving protein synthesis and modification, as it can serve as a useful tool for probing protein structure and function. Additionally, its incorporation into peptides can provide insights into the effects of halogenation on biological activity. As with many amino acid derivatives, it is important to handle this compound with care, adhering to safety protocols due to potential biological activity and reactivity.
