L-Aspartic acid α-(β-naphthylamide) (CAS 635-91-6)
QUICK LINKS
L-Aspartic acid α-(β-naphthylamide) is a compound that functions as a substrate for the enzyme L-aspartate α-amidase. This enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of L-aspartic acid α-(β-naphthylamide) to produce L-aspartic acid and β-naphthylamine. The mode of action involves the binding of the substrate to the active site of the enzyme, leading to the formation of an enzyme-substrate complex. This complex undergoes a series of chemical reactions, resulting in the cleavage of the amide bond in the substrate molecule. The release of the products, L-aspartic acid, and β-naphthylamine, marks the completion of the enzymatic reaction. In a research and development setting, this compound is used to study the kinetics and mechanism of action of L-aspartate α-amidase, providing insights into the enzymatic hydrolysis of amide-containing substrates.
