L-Glutamic Acid Magnesium Salt Hydrobromide (CAS 53459-38-4)
QUICK LINKS
L-Glutamic acid magnesium salt hydrobromide is a compound that combines an amino acid with magnesium and bromide ions, often used in biochemical and neurological research. This salt form of glutamic acid, an important neurotransmitter, allows for the study of glutamate receptor function and signaling pathways. The presence of magnesium in the compound is of particular interest, as magnesium ions play a vital role in modulating glutamatergic activity and have been associated with protecting neurons against excitotoxicity. In addition to its applications in neurology, this compound is also used in the field of crystallography to facilitate the crystallization of glutamate receptors for structural analysis. The bromide ion, used in halide salts of amino acids, can assist in the formation of well-ordered crystals, which is for X-ray diffraction studies aimed at elucidating the three-dimensional structure of biological macromolecules.
