CAS 312623-85-1: L-alanine-13C3-15N

Description: L-alanine-13C3-15N is a stable isotope-labeled form of the amino acid L-alanine, which is a non-essential amino acid important in protein synthesis and metabolism. The designation "13C3" indicates that three of the carbon atoms in the molecule are replaced with the stable isotope carbon-13, while "15N" signifies that one of the nitrogen atoms is replaced with the stable isotope nitrogen-15. This isotopic labeling is often used in metabolic studies and tracer experiments to track the incorporation of amino acids into proteins and other biomolecules. L-alanine itself is characterized by its simple structure, consisting of a central carbon atom bonded to an amino group, a carboxyl group, a hydrogen atom, and a side chain (methyl group) specific to alanine. The presence of stable isotopes allows researchers to utilize techniques such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and mass spectrometry for detailed analysis of metabolic pathways and protein dynamics without the complications associated with radioactive isotopes.
