CAS 8058-79-5
:2-aminoacetic acid; (2S)-2-aminopentanedioic acid; (2S)-2-aminopropanoic acid
Description:
The chemical substance referred to by the names "2-aminoacetic acid," "(2S)-2-aminopentanedioic acid," and "(2S)-2-aminopropanoic acid" with the CAS number 8058-79-5 is commonly known as L-alanine. L-alanine is a non-essential amino acid that plays a crucial role in protein synthesis and is involved in various metabolic processes. It is characterized by its simple structure, consisting of an amino group (-NH2), a carboxyl group (-COOH), and a side chain that is a methyl group (-CH3), making it one of the simplest amino acids. L-alanine is a colorless, crystalline solid that is soluble in water and has a slightly sweet taste. It is commonly found in proteins and is important for energy production, as it can be converted into glucose through gluconeogenesis. Additionally, L-alanine serves as a building block for the synthesis of other biomolecules and is involved in nitrogen metabolism. Its stereochemistry is significant, as the (S) configuration is the biologically active form in living organisms.
