CAS 22888-51-3: 2-methylphenylalanine

Description: 2-Methylphenylalanine, also known as o-methylphenylalanine, is an amino acid derivative characterized by the presence of a methyl group attached to the phenyl ring of phenylalanine. This compound is classified as a non-standard amino acid due to its structural modifications. It features a side chain that includes a phenyl group, which contributes to its hydrophobic properties, and an amino group that is typical of amino acids. The presence of the methyl group can influence its interactions in biological systems, potentially affecting protein folding and function. 2-Methylphenylalanine is not commonly found in natural proteins but may be used in research and synthetic applications, particularly in studies related to protein engineering and drug design. Its CAS number, 22888-51-3, is a unique identifier that facilitates the cataloging and retrieval of information about this compound in chemical databases. As with many amino acid derivatives, it may exhibit specific solubility characteristics and reactivity, making it of interest in various chemical and biochemical contexts.
