Description:R-4-Methylphenylalanine, also known by its CAS number 479064-87-4, is an amino acid derivative characterized by the presence of a methyl group attached to the para position of the phenyl ring in its structure. This compound is a non-standard amino acid, which means it is not one of the 20 standard amino acids commonly found in proteins. It is often used in biochemical research and synthetic biology, particularly in the study of protein folding and function, as well as in the development of novel peptides and proteins with enhanced properties. The presence of the methyl group can influence the hydrophobicity and steric properties of the amino acid, potentially affecting the overall structure and stability of proteins in which it is incorporated. R-4-Methylphenylalanine is typically synthesized through chemical methods or can be produced via recombinant DNA technology. Its unique characteristics make it a valuable tool in the field of protein engineering and drug design.
