Product Information
Name:4-Cyano-L-phenylalanine
Synonyms:
- L-Phe(4-CN)-OHp-Cyano-L-phenylalanine(S)-2-Amino-3-(4-cyanophenyl)propanoic acid
Brand:Biosynth
Description:4-Cyano-L-phenylalanine is an unnatural aminoacid that has been shown to bind to amyloid protein, which is associated with Alzheimer's disease. The binding of 4-Cyano-L-phenylalanine inhibits the synthesis of amyloid protein and prevents the formation of amyloid fibrils. 4-Cyano-L-phenylalanine also irreversibly inhibits the enzyme responsible for the production of hydrochloric acid in bacteria. The x-ray crystal structures of 4-Cyano L-phenylalanine have been determined and show that this compound binds to the active site of the enzyme synthetase, preventing it from forming an amino acid bond. 4-Cyano L-phenylalanine is an analog of 4-L-phenylalanine and, thanks to its cyano (nitrile) group, is a good candidate for use as a fluorescence marker to study the peptide membrane interactions.
