Product Information

• Name: Benzoyl-L-tyrosine amide
• Synonyms: Bz-L-Tyr-NH2
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Benzoyl-L-tyrosine amide is a reaction intermediate that is a competitive inhibitor of serine proteases. It binds to the active site of the enzyme and inhibits the breakdown of proteins by blocking the access of other reactants. Benzoyl-L-tyrosine amide has been shown to inhibit proteolytic activity in subtilis, an enzyme isolated from Bacillus licheniformis. The amino acid composition and binding properties are similar to those found in natural substrates. Benzoyl-L-tyrosine amide has been synthesized and its binding affinity towards histidine residues has been determined by titration calorimetry and fluorophosphate assay.
