3-METHYL-L-TYROSINE

Tyrosine analogue as alternative substrate for protein tyrosine kinase Csk provide Insights into substrate selectivity and catalytic mechanism.

ChEBI: 3-methyl-L-tyrosine is a tyrosine derivative that is L-tyrosine in which the hydrogen at position 3 on the phenyl ring is replaced by a methyl group. It is a L-tyrosine derivative and a non-proteinogenic L-alpha-amino acid. It is a tautomer of a 3-methyl-L-tyrosine zwitterion.
