:3-AMINO-PENTANOIC ACID
Description:
3-Amino-pentanoic acid, also known as β-amino-n-pentanoic acid, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which features a five-carbon chain with an amino group (-NH2) attached to the third carbon. This compound is classified as an amino acid, specifically a non-proteinogenic amino acid, meaning it is not incorporated into proteins during translation. It is a colorless, crystalline solid that is soluble in water due to the presence of both the amino and carboxylic acid functional groups. The presence of the amino group allows it to participate in various chemical reactions, including those typical of amino acids, such as peptide bond formation. 3-Amino-pentanoic acid has potential applications in pharmaceuticals and biochemistry, particularly in the synthesis of peptides and as a building block for more complex molecules. Its CAS number, 18664-78-3, is used for identification in chemical databases and regulatory contexts. As with many amino acids, it may exhibit zwitterionic behavior, possessing both positive and negative charges at physiological pH.
