Description

DL-Norvaline is a non-proteinogenic amino acid that can be synthesized in the laboratory. It has been shown to inhibit bacterial growth by binding to the polymerase chain reaction and preventing the synthesis of RNA. DL-Norvaline binds to the ribosome and inhibits protein synthesis, which is necessary for bacterial cell division. DL-Norvaline also binds to glutamate and may inhibit energy metabolism. DL-Norvaline is used as an antimicrobial agent against a number of bacteria, such as Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The antimicrobial activity of DL-norvaline may be due to its ability to bind to hydrophobic regions on bacterial cells.
