Product Information

• Name: 3-Styryl-L-alanine
• Synonyms: L-Ala(styryl)-OH
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3-Styryl-L-alanine is a synthetic petroselinic acid. It has been shown to be an inhibitor of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, and the active site of this enzyme has been modeled by molecular modeling. Kinetic studies have shown that 3-styryl-L-alanine deaminates to form an acylated product with a higher affinity for the active site than the substrate. The ligand is rationalized by focusing on its constant, which is given by (k/K)^2 = 1/(1+constant).
