:N-carbamyl-dl-alanine crystalline
Description:
N-carbamyl-dl-alanine is an amino acid derivative characterized by the presence of a carbamyl group attached to the alpha carbon of alanine. It is a crystalline solid that is typically white to off-white in appearance. This compound is soluble in water, which is a common trait among amino acids and their derivatives, facilitating its use in various biochemical applications. N-carbamyl-dl-alanine is often studied for its potential role in metabolic pathways and its applications in the synthesis of peptides and proteins. The presence of both the carboxyl and amino functional groups allows it to participate in typical amino acid reactions, including peptide bond formation. Additionally, its chirality, being a dl-form, indicates that it contains both D- and L- isomers, which can have different biological activities. As with many amino acid derivatives, it is important to handle N-carbamyl-dl-alanine with care, following appropriate safety protocols, as its reactivity and biological effects can vary based on concentration and environmental conditions.

Carbamoyl-DL-Ala-OH
CAS:<p>Carbamoyl-DL-Ala-OH is a synthetic amino acid that is used as a building block in peptide synthesis. It hydrolyzes and alkylates proteins, forming the corresponding amide and acid. A kinetic study of the hydrolysis of carbamoyl-DL-Ala-OH was conducted using a mutant strain of E. coli, which showed that carbamoyl-DL-Ala-OH hydrolyzed at pH 3.5 to 4.5 and did not form an observable amount of acid at this pH range. The prebiotic activity of carbamoyl DL-ala has been studied in rats and humans, who were given 50 mg of this amino acid per day for 3 weeks. Carbamoyl DL-ala was found to be safe and well tolerated by these subjects, with no significant changes in blood pressure observed in either species.<br>br><br>The subunits of carbamoyl DL-</p>Formula:C4H8N2O3Purity:Min. 95%Molecular weight:132.12 g/mol
