Description

3-(2-Pyridyl)-D-alanine is an amino acid that is a precursor to the peptide antibiotic, pyrithione. It can be prepared from 2-pyridylacetic acid and D-alanine. 3-(2-Pyridyl)-D-alanine is a chiral molecule with two stereogenic centres, which means it has four different optical isomers: L-, D-, S-, and R-. The L form of 3-(2-pyridyl)-D-alanine was found in Streptomyces sp. strain NRRL 8057. This amino acid is synthesized by a peptide synthetase enzyme. The sequence of this biosynthetic gene has not been determined yet.
