Descrição

4-Bromo-L-tryptophan is an amino acid that is used in the synthesis of biomimetic molecules. It is synthesized by allylation with bromine and then chromatographically purified. 4-Bromo-L-tryptophan can also be used to study the biosynthesis of tryptophan. 4-Bromo-L-tryptophan has a molecular weight of 204.2 daltons and a pKa of 5.72, which makes it acidic at physiological pH values. The compound spontaneously forms anhydride with hydroxytryptophan, which stabilizes it and prevents hydrolysis reactions. The optimum temperature for enzymatic activity is 160 degrees Celsius, and kinetic constants have been determined at this temperature as well as at 100 degrees Celsius. Catalytic asymmetric synthesis has also been accomplished using 4-bromo L tryptophan as a substrate.
