Description

Indole-4-Carboxylic acid is a molecule that belongs to the group of indole carboxylic acids. It is an organic compound that has a dipole moment and isomers. Indole-4-carboxylic acid can be synthesized by the saponification of indole-7-carboxylic acid, which has two functional groups: a hydroxy group and an amide group. The molecule has a chemical structure with an amide bond between the carboxyl and amino groups at one end, which forms a protonated amide. This protonated amide also has two orientations: trans and cis. The trans orientation is found in human cytochrome P450 and other proteins, while the cis orientation is found in enzymes such as tryptophan synthase, indoleamine 2,3 dioxygenase, or tyrosine hydroxylase.
