Ref. 3D-FM49049

Product Information

• Name: 4-Methyl-L-phenylalanine
• Synonyms: L-Phe(4-Me)-OHp-Methyl-L-phenylalanine(S)-2-Amino-3-(4-methylphenyl)propanoic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-Methyl-L-phenylalanine is a low energy amino acid that is metabolized by hydroxylase enzymes to produce the corresponding phenols. It has been shown that 4-methyl-L-phenylalanine inhibits cytochrome P450 enzymes and causes a decrease in the hydroxylation of benzoic acid, which may be related to the cancer drug metronidazole. This molecule also has a regulatory effect on the transcriptional regulation domain and can be used for modelling.
