Description

L-Norvaline is a hydrophobic amino acid that is synthesized in the body from the essential amino acid valine. It is an important intermediate in the biosynthesis of other amino acids, such as L-leucine and L-isoleucine. L-Norvaline has been shown to inhibit bacterial growth and can be used as an antimicrobial agent. It also inhibits the polymerase chain reaction by binding to DNA and RNA, thereby blocking transcription. This drug has been shown to increase energy metabolism, improve renal function, and reduce metabolic disorders in animals. These effects are thought to be due to its ability to bind with carbonyl oxygens on lysine residues of proteins.
