1-Aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid

Description:
1-Aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) is a cyclic amino acid characterized by its unique three-membered cyclopropane ring structure, which contributes to its distinctive chemical properties. It features an amino group (-NH2) and a carboxylic acid group (-COOH) attached to the same carbon atom, making it a b-amino acid. ACC is known for its role as a precursor in the biosynthesis of ethylene, a plant hormone that regulates various physiological processes, including fruit ripening and stress responses. The compound is typically a white crystalline solid and is soluble in water due to the presence of its polar functional groups. ACC is also of interest in agricultural and horticultural applications, as it can influence plant growth and development. Its reactivity is influenced by the strain in the cyclopropane ring, which can lead to unique chemical behavior compared to more stable cyclic structures. Overall, ACC serves as an important compound in both biochemical research and practical applications in plant science.
