• Beschreibung: (2S,3S)-2-Hydroxy-3-methylpentanoic acid (HMP) is an antimicrobial agent that functions by binding to metal ions in the bacterial cell wall and inhibiting their uptake. HMP also has a beneficial effect on insulin sensitivity. It has been shown that HMP binds to the amino acid lysine residues of proteins and inhibits protein degradation by corynebacterium glutamicum. This compound can be found in food products such as cheese and yogurt, but it is not known if it occurs naturally or is added during processing. The metabolic profile of this compound has been studied in humans and rats and it has been shown to have a wide range of effects on fatty acids and microbial metabolism. The molecular weight of HMP is 180.17 g/mol, with a melting point of 55°C. The chemical formula for HMP is C4H8O3. This molecule has two chiral centers, both at the carbon
