Description

D(-)-allo-Threonine is an amino acid with a hydroxyl group. It has been synthesized in an asymmetric synthesis and its biological properties have been studied in the context of monoclonal antibodies. D(-)-allo-Threonine has shown to be an inhibitor of enzymes involved in fatty acid biosynthesis, including 3-hydroxyacyl coenzyme A synthase, acetoacetyl-CoA reductase, and 3-ketoacyl CoA thiolase. This amino acid also inhibits the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and has been found to be a competitive inhibitor of the enzyme ribonucleotide reductase. D(-)-allo-Threonine is also a constituent of proteins that play a role in plant physiology and structural biology.
