(±)-2-Aminooctanoic acid

Description:

(±)-2-Aminooctanoic acid, also known as 2-aminooctanoic acid, is an amino acid characterized by its aliphatic chain and the presence of an amino group (-NH2) and a carboxylic acid group (-COOH). This compound has a total of eight carbon atoms, making it a medium-chain amino acid. It exists as a racemic mixture, meaning it contains both the D and L enantiomers, which can exhibit different biological activities. The presence of the amino group allows it to participate in peptide bond formation, making it relevant in protein synthesis. Its hydrophobic nature, due to the long carbon chain, influences its solubility in water and its interactions with biological membranes. (±)-2-Aminooctanoic acid is of interest in various fields, including biochemistry and nutrition, as it may play a role in metabolic processes and could be utilized in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals or as a dietary supplement. Additionally, its structural properties make it a subject of study in the context of amino acid transport and metabolism.
