Description

Applications D-Alanine is an amino acid that is commonly found in bacteria, such as Streptococcus faecalis. It is essential for the biosynthesis of peptidoglycan crosslinking sub-units that are used for bacterial cell walls. D-Alanine is also known to cause cytotoxic oxidative stress in brain tumour cells.
