Phenylalanine, β-methyl-, hydrochloride (1:1)

Description:
Phenylalanine, β-methyl-, hydrochloride (1:1), also known as β-methylphenylalanine hydrochloride, is an amino acid derivative characterized by its structural similarity to the essential amino acid phenylalanine, with a methyl group added to the beta carbon. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder and is soluble in water, which facilitates its use in various biochemical applications. As a hydrochloride salt, it exhibits enhanced stability and solubility compared to its free base form. The compound is of interest in research related to protein synthesis, metabolic studies, and potential therapeutic applications, particularly in the context of phenylketonuria (PKU), where phenylalanine metabolism is disrupted. Its molecular structure includes an aromatic ring, contributing to its hydrophobic properties, while the amino and carboxyl functional groups confer its classification as an amino acid. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as with all chemical substances, to ensure proper laboratory practices.
