2-Amino-5-methyl-5-hexenoic acid ((S)-2-Amino-5-methylhex-5-enoic acid) is a Methionine analog that competes with methionine and resulting in inhibition of cell growth. 2-Amino-5-methyl-5-hexenoic acid inhibits protein synthesis but not DNA or RNA synthesis in S. typhimurium TA1535 and E. coli K-12[1].
