Alanine

Description:

Alanine is a non-essential amino acid that plays a crucial role in protein synthesis and metabolism. It is classified as an aliphatic amino acid due to its side chain, which is a simple methyl group, making it hydrophobic. Alanine exists in two enantiomeric forms: L-alanine, which is the form incorporated into proteins, and D-alanine, which is less common and found in some bacterial cell walls. The molecular formula of alanine is C3H7NO2, and it features an amino group (-NH2), a carboxyl group (-COOH), and a side chain that distinguishes it from other amino acids. Alanine is soluble in water and has a neutral pH in its zwitterionic form, which is predominant in physiological conditions. It is involved in various metabolic pathways, including gluconeogenesis and the alanine cycle, which helps in the transport of nitrogen and carbon between tissues. Additionally, alanine is important for energy production and serves as a precursor for the synthesis of other biomolecules. Its CAS number, 302-72-7, is used for identification in chemical databases.

DL-Alanine

CAS: 302-72-7

DL-Alanine is a small molecule drug that has been used as a fluorescence probe for the detection of human hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA. DL-Alanine has also been shown to be an inhibitor of the polymerase chain reaction, which is a technique used for amplifying DNA. The fluorescence of DL-alanine is quenched by HBV, and the intensity of this interaction can be measured using an ultraviolet spectrophotometer. DL-Alanine was found to inhibit HBV replication in a model system when it was added at concentrations between 1 and 10 mM. The inhibition was attributed to its ability to scavenge anion radicals generated during the course of HBV replication. DL-Alanine inhibits both wild type and mutant strains of HBV, with no significant difference in potency between them.
