Produktinformation

• Name: L-Alanine-β-naphthylamide
• Marke: Biosynth
• Beschreibung: L-alanine-β-naphthylamide is an amino acid that is synthesized by the action of β-Naphtholactamase on l-alanine. It is used as a substrate for enzyme studies and to determine the uptake of substances by cells. L-Alanine-β-naphthylamide has been shown to inhibit the activity of some enzymes, such as aminopeptidases and peptidases. The inhibition may be due to its ability to bind to lysine residues in the active site of these enzymes. This amino acid also inhibits the growth of bacteria at neutral pH and has a bacteriostatic effect at a pH range from 4.5 to 5.5.
