CAS 3715-16-0
:L-aspartic-15N acid
Description:
L-Aspartic-15N acid, with the CAS number 3715-16-0, is a stable isotopic form of the amino acid L-aspartic acid, where the nitrogen atom is replaced by its heavier isotope, nitrogen-15 (15N). This modification allows for applications in various fields, particularly in biochemical and metabolic studies, as it can be used as a tracer in nitrogen metabolism research. L-Aspartic acid itself is a non-essential amino acid that plays a crucial role in the synthesis of proteins and neurotransmitters. It is involved in the urea cycle and is a precursor for other amino acids, such as asparagine. The presence of the 15N isotope does not significantly alter the chemical properties of the molecule, which retains its solubility in water and its ability to participate in biochemical reactions. L-Aspartic-15N acid is typically utilized in research settings, particularly in studies involving nitrogen flux and metabolic pathways, providing insights into amino acid metabolism and protein synthesis in various organisms.
