DL-Methionine is an amino acid that is used in biochemistry and nutrition research. It is a racemic mixture of the D- and L- forms of methionine, which are mirror images of each other. In research involving protein synthesis, DL-Methionine is used to study the incorporation of sulfur-containing amino acids into peptides and proteins. It is also a focal point in studies on metabolism, as methionine is a critical precursor for various metabolic pathways, including the synthesis of S-adenosylmethionine, an important methyl donor. Furthermore, researchers use DL-Methionine to examine its influence on growth and oxidative stress mechanisms in cell cultures.
