5-amino-5-oxopentanoic acid

Description:
5-Amino-5-oxopentanoic acid, also known as 5-amino-2-oxopentanoic acid, is an organic compound characterized by its amino and keto functional groups. It features a five-carbon backbone with an amino group (-NH2) attached to the fifth carbon and a ketone group (=O) on the second carbon. This structure classifies it as an α-amino acid, which is a key building block in protein synthesis. The compound is typically a white to off-white crystalline solid and is soluble in water due to the presence of the amino group, which can engage in hydrogen bonding. Its molecular formula reflects the presence of both nitrogen and oxygen, indicating potential reactivity in biochemical pathways. 5-Amino-5-oxopentanoic acid may play a role in metabolic processes and could be of interest in pharmaceutical research, particularly in the development of compounds that interact with amino acid metabolism. As with many amino acids, it may exhibit zwitterionic behavior, possessing both positive and negative charges at physiological pH.
