4-Methyl-L-phenylalanine

Description:

4-Methyl-L-phenylalanine, also known as 4-methylphenylalanine, is an amino acid derivative characterized by the presence of a methyl group at the para position of the phenyl ring of phenylalanine. Its molecular formula is C10H13NO2, and it features both an amino group (-NH2) and a carboxylic acid group (-COOH), typical of amino acids. This compound is a non-proteinogenic amino acid, meaning it is not incorporated into proteins during translation but can be used in various biochemical applications. It is often studied in the context of protein engineering and drug design due to its unique side chain, which can influence the properties of peptides and proteins. 4-Methyl-L-phenylalanine may also exhibit interesting interactions in biological systems, potentially affecting protein folding and stability. Its CAS number, 1991-87-3, is a unique identifier that facilitates its recognition in chemical databases and literature. As with many amino acids, it is soluble in water and can participate in various chemical reactions typical of amino acids.
