Ref. 3D-FA48882

Product Information

• Name: Z-L-aspartic acid α-methyl ester
• Synonyms: Z-L-Asp-OMe
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Z-L-aspartic acid alpha-methyl ester is a chiral amide that was synthesized by reacting glutamic acid with aspartyl methyl ester, followed by hydrolysis of the resulting nitrile. The reaction time for this synthesis is less than 10 hours, with an acetonitrile concentration of only 0.2 M. This product has been shown to inhibit the growth of staphylococcus in vitro and in vivo, and can be used as a reagent in enzymatic methods. Z-L-aspartic acid alpha-methyl ester is also an analogously reactive substrate for the transfer reactions catalyzed by enzymes such as glutamine synthetase and glutamate dehydrogenase.
