Produktinformation

• Name: D-Leucine ethyl ester hydrochloride
• Synonyme: D-Leu-OEt·HCl(R)-2-Amino-4-methyl-pentanoic acid ethyl ester hydrochloride
• Marke: Biosynth
• Beschreibung: D-Leucine ethyl ester hydrochloride is a synthetic amino acid with the chemical formula C5H11NO3. It is an ammonium salt of leucine that has been modified by replacing the side chain carboxylic acid group with an ethyl ester. This modification prevents D-leucine from being metabolized as a source of energy and instead makes it a useful probe for studying enzyme catalysis. D-Leucine ethyl ester hydrochloride is used to study intramolecular reactions in proteins, such as peptides and tripeptides, by probing their backbone conformation.
