Description:5-Bromo-DL-tryptophan (5BrT) is a synthetic amino acid that belongs to the class of 1,2-diaminopropionic acids. 5BrT is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of tryptophan. It can be used as a fluorescent probe for protein analysis and detection of DNA by gel electrophoresis. 5BrT has also been shown to be taken up by cells, where it may form a fluorescent complex with intracellular proteins. The fluorescence properties of this compound have been studied by measuring emission spectra and lifetimes in solutions and gels. 5BrT has also been found to inhibit growth of bacteria such as Verticillium dahliae, which produces a number of antibiotics including penicillin. This compound can also be used in the synthesis of recombinant proteins from Escherichia coli or other bacteria.
