Description

DL-Leucine is an amino acid that is needed for the formation of proteins. It is also able to inhibit the activity of enzymes by hydrolyzing them. DL-Leucine has been shown to be a potent inhibitor of lysine hydrolases and can be used as an additive in the manufacture of animal feed. DL-Leucine has been shown to be stable in many environments, including those containing chlorine, hydrochloric acid, n-dimethyl formamide, and x-ray crystallography. The enantiomers of DL-leucine have different chemical stability; one form is more stable than the other in acidic environments.
