Isovaline

Description:
Isovaline, with the CAS number 595-40-4, is an amino acid that is a structural isomer of valine. It is classified as a non-polar, aliphatic amino acid due to its branched-chain structure, which includes an isopropyl group. Isovaline is characterized by its hydrophobic nature, making it less soluble in water compared to more polar amino acids. It plays a role in protein synthesis and can be found in various biological systems, although it is not one of the standard amino acids commonly incorporated into proteins. Isovaline can exist in both L- and D- forms, with the L-form being the biologically active isomer. Its unique structure contributes to its specific interactions in biochemical pathways and its potential applications in research and industry, particularly in the fields of pharmaceuticals and biotechnology. Additionally, isovaline can be synthesized through various chemical methods, including enzymatic processes, and is of interest in studies related to metabolic pathways and amino acid metabolism.
