4-amino-L-phenylalanine hydrate

Description:
4-Amino-L-phenylalanine hydrate is an amino acid derivative characterized by the presence of an amino group (-NH2) and a phenyl group attached to the alpha carbon of the L-phenylalanine structure. This compound is a chiral molecule, existing in the L-form, which is biologically relevant and commonly found in proteins. The hydrate form indicates that it contains water molecules in its crystalline structure, which can influence its solubility and stability. Typically, 4-amino-L-phenylalanine is utilized in biochemical research and may serve as a building block for peptide synthesis or in studies related to protein engineering. Its properties include being soluble in water, which is essential for its biological activity, and it may exhibit specific interactions with enzymes or receptors due to its functional groups. As with many amino acids, it plays a role in various metabolic pathways and can be involved in the synthesis of neurotransmitters or other biologically significant molecules. Safety and handling precautions should be observed, as with all chemical substances.
