D,L-3-iodophenylalanine

Description:
D,L-3-Iodophenylalanine is an amino acid derivative characterized by the presence of an iodine atom at the 3-position of the phenyl ring attached to the alpha carbon of the alanine structure. This compound is a non-proteinogenic amino acid, meaning it is not incorporated into proteins during translation. It exhibits both hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties due to its amino and aromatic groups, which can influence its interactions in biological systems. The iodine substitution can enhance the compound's lipophilicity and alter its biological activity compared to its non-iodinated counterparts. D,L-3-Iodophenylalanine is often utilized in biochemical research, particularly in studies involving protein structure and function, as well as in the development of pharmaceuticals. Its unique properties make it a valuable tool in the synthesis of various compounds and in the exploration of receptor interactions. As with many halogenated compounds, care should be taken regarding its handling and disposal due to potential environmental and health impacts.
