p-Fluoro-DL-phenylalanine (CAS 51-65-0)
QUICK LINKS
p-Fluoro-DL-phenylalanine is a synthetic amino acid that is an analog of phenylalanine, an amino acid present in proteins. The addition of a fluorine atom significantly alters its properties and interactions within biological systems. The fluorine atom is highly electronegative, making the p-fluoro substitution influential in terms of the molecule′s electronic distribution, chemical reactivity, and ability to engage in hydrogen bonding. These changes can affect how the modified amino acid interacts with enzymes, receptors, and other proteins, which may be useful for studying various biochemical pathways and processes. In chemical synthesis, the presence of both D- and L- forms in the racemic mixture of p-fluoro-DL-phenylalanine offers an opportunity to explore the effects of chirality on biological activity and chemical reactivity.
