Aminoacids and derivatives

<p>Stability Hygroscopic<br>Applications An inhibitor of aromatic amino acid decarboxylase.<br>References Sletzinger, M., et al.: J. Med. Chem., 6, 101 (1963)<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 Hygroscopic<br>Applications CEL and CML are two stable, nonenzymatic chemical modifications of protein lysine residues resulting from glycation and oxidation reactions.<br>References Fu, M.X., et al.: J.
