4-Carboxyphenylalanine

Description:
4-Carboxyphenylalanine, also known by its CAS number 22976-70-1, is an amino acid derivative characterized by the presence of a carboxylic acid group attached to the phenyl ring of phenylalanine. This compound features both an amino group and a carboxylic acid group, making it a zwitterionic molecule at physiological pH. It is typically a white crystalline solid that is soluble in water due to its polar functional groups. The presence of the additional carboxyl group enhances its acidity compared to standard phenylalanine, potentially influencing its reactivity and interactions in biochemical systems. 4-Carboxyphenylalanine can be utilized in various biochemical applications, including peptide synthesis and as a building block in the development of pharmaceuticals. Its structural modifications can also provide insights into the design of novel compounds with specific biological activities. Overall, this compound exemplifies the complexity and versatility of amino acid derivatives in chemical and biological contexts.
