2-Methyl-L-phenylalanine

Description:
2-Methyl-L-phenylalanine, also known by its CAS number 80126-53-0, is an amino acid derivative that is structurally related to phenylalanine, an essential amino acid. This compound features a methyl group attached to the second carbon of the phenylalanine side chain, which influences its physical and chemical properties. It is typically a white to off-white crystalline solid and is soluble in water, reflecting its amino acid nature. The presence of the methyl group can affect its biological activity and interactions with proteins and enzymes. 2-Methyl-L-phenylalanine is of interest in various fields, including biochemistry and pharmaceuticals, as it may serve as a building block for peptide synthesis or as a potential therapeutic agent. Its unique structure may also impact its role in metabolic pathways and its incorporation into proteins. As with many amino acids, it can participate in various chemical reactions, including peptide bond formation, and may exhibit specific optical activity due to its chiral nature.
