(2R)-2-ammoniooctanedioate

Description:
(2R)-2-ammoniooctanedioate, also known as L-arginine, is a zwitterionic compound characterized by the presence of both a positively charged amino group and a negatively charged carboxylate group. This dual charge allows it to participate in various biochemical processes, particularly in protein synthesis and metabolic pathways. The compound is soluble in water, which facilitates its role in biological systems. As a derivative of octanedioic acid, it features a long hydrocarbon chain that contributes to its hydrophobic properties, while the amino and carboxyl groups enhance its hydrophilicity. This amphipathic nature allows it to interact with both polar and nonpolar environments, making it essential in cellular functions. Additionally, (2R)-2-ammoniooctanedioate plays a role in the urea cycle and is involved in the synthesis of nitric oxide, a critical signaling molecule in various physiological processes. Its structural characteristics and functional versatility make it significant in both biochemistry and pharmacology.
