Description

4-Nitro-D-phenylalanine hydrate is a cytosolic enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of phenylpropionic acid to its conjugate base, 4-nitrophenol. This reaction is important in the synthesis of antimicrobial peptides and extractants. The enzyme also has hemolytic activity and can be used as an extractant for pancreatic juice. 4-Nitro-D-phenylalanine hydrate is a catalyst for acylation reactions, which are involved in the production of various pharmaceuticals. 4-Nitro-D-phenylalanine hydrate binds to receptors on the surface of bacterial cells, making it an effective antibacterial agent.
