L-leucine-1-13C

Description:
L-leucine-1-13C is a stable isotope-labeled form of the essential amino acid leucine, which is crucial for protein synthesis and various metabolic processes in the body. The "1-13C" designation indicates that the carbon atom at the first position of the leucine molecule is replaced with the carbon-13 isotope, allowing for applications in metabolic studies and tracer experiments. This compound retains the fundamental characteristics of L-leucine, including its hydrophobic nature and role in promoting muscle protein synthesis. It is typically used in research settings, particularly in studies involving metabolic pathways, protein turnover, and nutritional assessments. The presence of the carbon-13 isotope enables researchers to track the incorporation of leucine into proteins and other biomolecules using techniques such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. As a non-toxic and naturally occurring amino acid, L-leucine-1-13C is generally regarded as safe for use in scientific research.
