D-Leucic acid

Description:

D-Leucic acid, with the CAS number 20312-37-2, is an amino acid derivative that is a structural isomer of leucine, an essential branched-chain amino acid. It features a carboxylic acid functional group (-COOH) and an amino group (-NH2), characteristic of amino acids, which allows it to participate in various biochemical processes. D-Leucic acid is known for its role in protein synthesis and metabolism, similar to its L-isomer counterpart. It is typically found in a crystalline form and is soluble in water, making it suitable for various applications in biochemistry and nutrition. The D-configuration indicates that the molecule has a specific spatial arrangement of its atoms, which can influence its biological activity and interactions with enzymes and receptors. While D-amino acids are less common in nature compared to their L-forms, they can play unique roles in certain biological systems and may have potential therapeutic applications. Overall, D-Leucic acid is an important compound in the study of amino acids and their functions in living organisms.
