:4-methylphenylalanine
Description:
4-Methylphenylalanine, also known as para-methylphenylalanine, is an amino acid derivative characterized by the presence of a methyl group attached to the para position of the phenyl ring of phenylalanine. Its chemical formula is C10H13NO2, and it features both an amino group (-NH2) and a carboxylic acid group (-COOH), typical of amino acids. This compound is notable for its role in protein synthesis and as a non-standard amino acid, often used in research and biochemistry to study protein structure and function. The presence of the methyl group can influence the hydrophobicity and steric properties of peptides and proteins that incorporate this amino acid. 4-Methylphenylalanine is also of interest in the field of medicinal chemistry, where it may be explored for its potential effects on biological systems. As with many amino acids, it is soluble in water and can participate in various chemical reactions, including peptide bond formation. Safety and handling precautions should be observed, as with all chemical substances.
