Product Information

• Name: H-Ala-Pro-Ala-OH
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: H-Ala-Pro-Ala-OH is a fluorescent amino acid residue that can be used to study the structures of proteins. This amino acid is derived from histidine, and its fluorescence intensity increases when it binds to tryptophan residues near the active site of an enzyme. H-Ala-Pro-Ala-OH has been used for the structural analysis of mutant enzymes that have been engineered to show differences in substrate binding sites. This molecule also has a fluorogenic substrate, which can be used as a replacement for traditional substrates in order to highlight specific regions of a protein or enzyme. The quantum theory was used to calculate the x-ray diffraction data, which were then analyzed using software programs such as MOLMOL and XPLOR. These datasets were then used to create molecular models of H-Ala-Pro-Ala-OH.
