L-Glutamine-amide-15N (CAS 59681-32-2)

L-Glutamine-amide-15N is a labelled L-Glutamine (sc-391013). L-Glutamine is an essential amino acid that is a component of culture media that serves as a major energy source for cells in culture. L-Glutamine is very stable as a dry powder and as a frozen solution. In liquid media or stock solutions, however, L-glutamine degrades relatively rapidly. Optimal cell performance usually requires supplementation of the media with L-glutamine prior to use. It serves as a versatile amino acid derivative extensively employed in diverse scientific research applications. This isotopically labeled form of the naturally occurring amino acid L-glutamine is an invaluable tool for studying proteins and enzymes. In the realm of biochemical and physiological studies, L-Glutamine-amide-15N acts as a chemical probe, facilitating investigations into the structure, function, and dynamics of proteins and enzymes, as well as their interactions with other molecules. Its utility extends to various laboratory experiments, encompassing protein purification, enzyme kinetics, and the exploration of metabolic pathways. By incorporating L-Glutamine-amide-15N into proteins and enzymes, the presence of 15N atoms enables comprehensive exploration of their structure, function, dynamics, and interactions with precision. Consequently, L-Glutamine-amide-15N plays a fundamental role in enhancing our understanding of these vital biomolecules and their behavior in scientific research.
