Description

Hexafluoro-DL-Valine is a synthetic chemical that can be used to produce luciferases. It is the substrate for the enzyme luciferase, which catalyzes the formation of oxyluciferin and light. Hexafluoro-DL-Valine is an oriented molecule that has a high degree of chemical stability and acts as an intramolecular hydrogen donor in biologically active molecules containing amide bonds. Hexafluoro-DL-Valine can be conjugated with enzymes or other substances to form new compounds with varying properties. Hexafluoro-DL-Valine is often used as a carbon source for bacteria that have been engineered to produce luciferases. The crystallization process of Hexafluoro-DL-Valine is characterized by two phases: rapid cooling and slow cooling.
