3-Bromophenylalanine

Description:

3-Bromophenylalanine is an amino acid derivative characterized by the presence of a bromine atom attached to the phenyl ring at the meta position relative to the amino group. Its molecular structure includes both an amino group (-NH2) and a carboxylic acid group (-COOH), typical of amino acids, which allows it to participate in protein synthesis and biochemical processes. This compound is often used in biochemical research and studies involving protein engineering due to its ability to incorporate halogenated phenylalanine into proteins, potentially altering their properties and functions. 3-Bromophenylalanine is typically a white to off-white solid and is soluble in polar solvents. Its unique properties make it valuable in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals and in the study of protein-ligand interactions. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as with many halogenated organic substances, due to potential toxicity and environmental concerns.
