Produktinformation

• Name: 3-Propionylpyridine
• Marke: Biosynth
• Beschreibung: 3-Propionylpyridine is a metabolite of valine and isovaleric acid. It has been shown to be the major component in horse breath. 3-Propionylpyridine can be used as a marker for identification of horses, and can be used to distinguish between different breeds and sexes. 3-Propionylpyridine is also an intermediate in the synthesis of many drugs, including antibiotics, such as penicillin. The enzyme that catalyzes the formation of 3-Propionylpyridine from valine is tryptophanase, which plays an important role in amino acid metabolism. The active site on tryptophanase contains three hydrogen bonds that form with the substrate. This molecule also has two hydrogens that are transferred during catalysis, which takes place at a specific site called the active site.
