Description

5-Amino-2-methoxybenzoic acid (5AMBA) is a hydrogen bond acceptor that binds to peptides and rna. It also has enzymatic activity, which can be used in the treatment of diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. 5AMBA is a small molecule that contains two methoxy groups and one hydrogen. It has been shown to bind to an intramolecular hydrogen bond within a peptide or rna sequence and inhibit enzymatic activity. This inhibition occurs by removing the nucleophile from the enzyme's active site or by sterically hindering access to the enzyme's active site. The luminescent properties of 5AMBA make it an ideal candidate for fluorescent labeling, with applications in biomolecular research.
