:D-leucine-1-13C
Description:
D-leucine-1-13C is a stable isotope-labeled form of the amino acid leucine, specifically featuring a carbon-13 isotope at the first carbon position. As a branched-chain amino acid, D-leucine plays a crucial role in protein synthesis and metabolism. The presence of the carbon-13 isotope allows for enhanced tracking and analysis in metabolic studies, particularly in research involving protein turnover and amino acid metabolism. D-leucine itself is an essential amino acid, meaning it cannot be synthesized by the human body and must be obtained through diet. It is involved in various physiological processes, including muscle repair and growth, and is often utilized in nutritional supplements. The compound is typically characterized by its molecular formula, which includes carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen atoms, and exhibits properties common to amino acids, such as solubility in water and the ability to form zwitterions in solution. Its unique isotopic labeling makes it valuable in scientific research, particularly in studies utilizing nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and mass spectrometry.
