Product Information

• Name: 4-Fluoro-L-Tryptophan
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-Fluoro-L-tryptophan is an amino acid that is used in the synthesis of proteins. It has a number of uses in molecular biology, including the study of phosphatases, tryptophan synthetase, and mutant strains. 4-Fluoro-L-tryptophan can be used to study the interaction between subunits of these enzymes and to determine kinetic parameters. This compound has been shown to interact with magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) and fluorescence measurements. The biosynthesis of 4-fluoro-L-tryptophan involves two steps: (1) incorporation into protein by tryptophanyl tRNA synthetase; and (2) conversion to tryptamine by phosphatase enzyme.
