3-Aminopropionic acid-15N, also known as L-3-aminopropionic acid, is a stable isotopic form of the amino acid 3-aminopropionic acid, where the nitrogen atom is labeled with the stable isotope nitrogen-15 (15N). This compound is characterized by its molecular formula, which includes a three-carbon backbone with an amino group (-NH2) and a carboxylic acid group (-COOH) attached to the terminal carbon. The presence of the 15N isotope allows for specific applications in research, particularly in studies involving nitrogen metabolism, tracer studies, and isotopic labeling in biological systems. 3-Aminopropionic acid itself is a non-proteinogenic amino acid, meaning it is not incorporated into proteins during translation but can play roles in various biochemical pathways. It is soluble in water and exhibits typical amino acid properties, such as the ability to form zwitterions in solution. The compound is utilized in various fields, including biochemistry, pharmacology, and environmental studies, particularly in understanding nitrogen dynamics in ecosystems.
