Product Information

• Name: L-Phenylalanine-15N
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: L-Phenylalanine-15N is a labeled form of phenylalanine that is used in the study of protein synthesis. The L-phenylalanine-15N molecule contains 15 nitrogen atoms and is incorporated into the amino acid structure of proteins. The incorporation of L-phenylalanine-15N into the proteins can be followed by measuring its incorporation into muscle tissue, which has been shown to be a reliable measure of protein synthesis. This technique can be used to measure the effects of dietary or environmental factors on protein synthesis in animals or humans.
