3-Aminohexanedioic acid

Description:
3-Aminohexanedioic acid, also known as L-lysine, is an α-amino acid with the chemical formula C6H12N2O4. It features a carboxylic acid group (-COOH) and an amino group (-NH2) attached to a six-carbon chain, specifically at the third carbon. This compound is a colorless, crystalline solid that is soluble in water due to its polar functional groups. It is classified as a non-essential amino acid, meaning it can be synthesized by the body, but it is also obtained from dietary sources. 3-Aminohexanedioic acid plays a crucial role in protein synthesis and is involved in various metabolic processes. It is also known for its potential applications in pharmaceuticals, nutrition, and biochemistry. The compound has a relatively high melting point and exhibits stability under standard conditions, although it can decompose under extreme pH or temperature. Its properties make it a valuable compound in both research and industrial applications, particularly in the synthesis of peptides and as a dietary supplement.
