CAS 70543-06-5
:Aspartic acid, N-(1,2-dicarboxyethyl)-
Description:
Aspartic acid, N-(1,2-dicarboxyethyl)-, also known by its CAS number 70543-06-5, is an amino acid derivative characterized by the presence of both amino and carboxyl functional groups, which are typical of amino acids. This compound features a dicarboxyethyl side chain, contributing to its unique properties. It is typically a white crystalline solid that is soluble in water due to its polar nature. The presence of multiple carboxylic acid groups allows for potential interactions with other molecules, making it relevant in biochemical applications, particularly in the synthesis of peptides and proteins. Aspartic acid derivatives are often involved in metabolic pathways and can play roles in neurotransmission and cellular signaling. Its structure allows it to participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and amidation. As with many amino acids, it may exhibit zwitterionic behavior, having both positive and negative charges at physiological pH, which influences its solubility and reactivity in biological systems.
