H-Lys-Ala-OH

Description:

H-Lys-Ala-OH, also known as Lysine-Alanine, is a dipeptide composed of the amino acids lysine and alanine. It features a primary amino group from lysine and a carboxylic acid group from alanine, which contribute to its properties as a zwitterionic compound. This substance is typically found in a solid state at room temperature and is soluble in water due to its polar nature. The presence of the lysine side chain, which contains an additional amino group, imparts basic characteristics, while alanine contributes to its hydrophobic properties. H-Lys-Ala-OH is often utilized in biochemical research and applications, including peptide synthesis and studies related to protein structure and function. Its CAS number, 17043-71-9, allows for easy identification in chemical databases. As with many peptides, it may exhibit biological activity, influencing various physiological processes, although specific activities can vary based on the context of its use. Proper handling and storage conditions are essential to maintain its stability and integrity.

H-Lys-Ala-OH hydrobromide

CAS: 17043-71-9

Lysine is an essential amino acid, which means that it cannot be synthesized by the body and must be obtained from food. It is a crucial component of many proteins, including enzymes and hormones. Lysine is also involved in calcium absorption, maintaining nitrogen balance, and the production of carnitine. Lysine hydrobromide is a salt form of lysine that can be used to inhibit protein synthesis in bacteria. This inhibition can take place at either the transcriptional or translational level, but not both simultaneously. The inhibition of protein synthesis prevents the cell from growing and reproducing. Lysine hydrobromide has been shown to have a regulatory effect on enzyme activities in corynebacterium glutamicum (a type of bacteria). It also acts as a substrate for uptake by corynebacterium glutamicum cells due to its high lysine content.
