L-Tryptophan, N-methyl-4-(3-methyl-2-buten-1-yl)-

Namino-Methyl-4-dimethylallyl-L-tryptophan is used in the biosynthesis of ergot alkaloids

ChEBI: 4-(3-methylbut-2-enyl)-L-abrine is a methy-amino acid that is L-tryptophan substituted at the N(alpha)-position by a methyl group and at the 4-position by a 3-methylbut-2-enyl group. It is a L-tryptophan derivative and a N-methyl-L-alpha-amino acid. It is a tautomer of a 4-(3-methylbut-2-enyl)-L-abrine zwitterion.
