L-2-Amino-5-phenylpentanoic acid

Description:

L-2-Amino-5-phenylpentanoic acid, also known as L-phenylalanine-2-amino-5-pentanoic acid, is an amino acid derivative characterized by its structure, which includes a phenyl group attached to a pentanoic acid backbone. This compound features both an amino group (-NH2) and a carboxylic acid group (-COOH), typical of amino acids, making it a zwitterionic molecule at physiological pH. It is soluble in water due to the presence of polar functional groups, which facilitate hydrogen bonding. L-2-Amino-5-phenylpentanoic acid is of interest in biochemical research and may have applications in pharmaceuticals, particularly in the study of neurotransmitter synthesis and metabolism. Its stereochemistry is significant, as the L-configuration is biologically relevant, influencing its interaction with enzymes and receptors. Additionally, this compound may exhibit properties such as being a precursor to other bioactive molecules and could play a role in protein synthesis. As with many amino acids, it is essential to handle it with care in laboratory settings, considering its potential biological effects.
