Z-Ala-Asn-OH

Description:

Z-Ala-Asn-OH, also known as Z-Aspartyl-Alanine, is a peptide with a specific structure characterized by the presence of the amino acids alanine (Ala) and asparagine (Asn) linked together. The "Z" in its name indicates that the amino group of alanine is protected by a benzyloxycarbonyl (Z) group, which is commonly used in peptide synthesis to prevent unwanted reactions during the formation of peptide bonds. This compound is typically utilized in biochemical research and peptide synthesis due to its role in studying protein interactions and functions. The CAS number 21467-12-9 uniquely identifies this substance in chemical databases, facilitating its recognition and retrieval for research purposes. Z-Ala-Asn-OH is soluble in polar solvents, and its stability can be influenced by factors such as pH and temperature. As with many peptides, it may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in pharmacological studies. However, specific applications and properties can vary based on the context of its use in research or industry.

Z-Ala-Asn-OH

CAS: 21467-12-9

Z-Ala-Asn-OH is a hydrophobic amino acid that is used in industrial applications, such as paints and coatings. It can be synthesized from L-alanine and D-asparagine by the enzyme carboxypeptidase Y. Z-Ala-Asn-OH has been shown to have relevance for biochemically screening hyperthermophilic microorganisms, such as E. coli or other bacteria from the family Enterobacteriaceae. This amino acid has also been shown to be an essential component of a consortium of gram negative bacteria that produce an enzyme called xylanase and are used in the production of xylitol.
