Aminoacids and derivatives

<p>Applications 2-Hydroxy L-Tryptophan is a metabolic intermediate in the biosynthesis of the neurotransmitters serotonin and melatonin from Tryptophan.<br>References Southan, M.D., et al.: Med. Chem. Res., 6, 343 (1996);<br></p>

<p>Applications Iminodiacetic Acid is used as a reagent in the synthesis of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) microgel particles for metal affinity binding of peptides.<br>References Tsai, H., et al.: Colloids Surf. B, 114, 104 (2014)<br></p>

<p>Stability Very Hygroscopic, Moisture Sensitive<br>Applications 3,4-Dihydroxyphenylglycolaldehyde (Dopegal) is the monoamine oxidase metabolite of dopamine which is toxic of in a concentrated amount and may be a target for Alzheimer or Parkinson’s therapy.<br>References Burke, W. et al.: Neurotoxical., 25, 101 (2004);<br></p>

<p>Stability Hygroscopic<br>Applications L-Glutamic Acid, Magnesium Salt Hydrobromide is an metabolite of L-Glutamic acid, a non-essential amino acid. Its salt form (glutamate) is an important neurotransmitter that plays a key role in long-term potentiation and is important for learning and memory. It is also a key molecule in cellular metabolism. L-Glutamic Acid, Magnesium Salt Hydrobromide has also been investigated for sedative properties as a tranquilizer.<br>References McEntee, W., et al.: Psychopharmacology, 111, 391 (1993), Manev, H., et al.: Mol. Pharmacol., 36, 106 (1989), Hamanaka, T., et al.: Toho. Igakkai. Zasshi., 20, 663 (1973);<br></p>

<p>Applications L-Glutamine-2,3,3,4,4-d5 is the isotope labelled analog of L-Glutamine (G597000); an essential amino acid that is a crucial component of culture media that serves as a major energy source for cells in culture. L-Glutamine is very stable as a dry powder and as a frozen solution. In liquid media or stock solutions, however, L-glutamine degrades relatively rapidly. Optimal cell performance usually requires supplementation of the media with L-glutamine prior to use.<br>References Rivett, A., et al.: J. Biol. Chem., 260, 300 (1985); Watford, M., et al.: Metabolism, 49, 141 (2000); Wilmore, D., et al.: J. Nutr., 131, 2543S (2001)<br></p>

<p>Stability Decomposes under acidic condition, Hygroscopic<br>Applications 1,1’-Ethylidenebis[L-tryptophan] is a L-tryptophan (T947210) contaminant found in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells from patients with functional somatic syndromes.<br>References Barth, H., et al.: Clin. Experiment. Inmmunol., 126, 187 (2001); Simat, T.J., et al.: Adv. Experi. Med. Biol., 467, 469 (1999);<br></p>

<p>Applications Isotope labelled Glycine is a non-essential amino acid for human development. Glycine is an inhibitory neurotransmitter in spinal cord, allosteric regulator of NMDA receptors.<br>References Scott, D., et al.: J. Neurosci., 21, 3063 (2001), Laube, B., et al.: Neuropharmacology, 47, 994 (2004), Papadakis, M., et al.: J. Biol. Chem., 279, 14703 (2004), Chen, P., et al.: Mol.
