2-[[(1S)-1-phenylethyl]amino]acetic acid

Description:
2-[[(1S)-1-phenylethyl]amino]acetic acid, also known as phenylalanine derivative, is an amino acid characterized by its structure, which includes an amino group, a carboxylic acid group, and a phenyl group attached to a carbon chain. This compound is a chiral molecule, meaning it has a specific spatial arrangement of atoms that can exist in two enantiomeric forms. The presence of the phenyl group contributes to its hydrophobic characteristics, while the amino and carboxylic acid groups impart polar properties, allowing for potential interactions in biological systems. It is soluble in water due to the polar functional groups, making it relevant in biochemical applications. This compound may play a role in various biological processes, including protein synthesis and neurotransmitter function. Additionally, its structural features suggest potential applications in pharmaceuticals and biochemistry, particularly in the design of drugs targeting specific receptors or enzymes. As with many amino acids, it is essential for various metabolic pathways and may influence physiological functions.
