Product Information
Name:7-Methyl-L-tryptophan
Brand:Biosynth
Description:7-Methyl-L-tryptophan (7MT) is a precursor of serotonin. It has been shown that 7MT can be converted to serotonin in vivo and is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of serotonin. 7MT is also a competitive inhibitor of tryptophan's transferase, which converts tryptophan to 7MT. The kinetics of the conversion of tryptophan to 7MT have been studied in olivasterospora erythraea and kinetic data collected. Reaction products were analyzed by thin layer chromatography and gas chromatography. Data show that prenyl groups on the molecule are important for the activation energy required for the formation of 7MT, as well as its hydrophobic nature. The presence or absence of substituents on the aromatic ring affects its hydrophobic interactions with other molecules.
