Product Information
(2R)-2-Hydroxypentanoic acid is an organic acid that is produced by a synthetase in the cell. It is also produced as a byproduct of other metabolic processes. This compound has been shown to be synthesized in large quantities in a bioreactor using hydrodynamic cavitation. Phase chromatography has been used to separate this compound from other organic acids, such as (2S)-2-hydroxybutanoic acid and (3S)-3-hydroxyhexanoic acid. Dehydrogenase enzymes are used to oxidize the molecule into the keto form, which can be used for energy production or conversion into other compounds, such as malonyl coenzyme A, acetyl coenzyme A, and succinyl coenzyme A. The achievable crystallography of this compound could lead to its use in drug discovery or for understanding the uptake and metabolism of this metabolite by bacteria.
