Ref. 3D-FA56210

Product Information

• Name: (+)-(1S,3R)-3-Amino-cyclopentane carboxylic acid
• Synonyms: (+)-(1S,3R)-b-Homocycloleucine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: The nature of the amino acid side chain plays a major role in determining the properties of an amino acid. The side chain is either hydrophobic (CH3) or hydrophilic (NH2). Amino acids are arranged into subunits. The alpha-amino group is attached to the carbon atom at the end of the side chain, and the carboxyl group is attached to a second carbon atom on a different molecule. These two molecules are joined by a chemical bond called an amide bond. The alpha-carboxyl group determines whether an amino acid will be acidic or basic in nature. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral, and numbers higher than 7 indicating alkaline conditions. Constant values for each amino acid can be found on this website:
