L(+)-альфа-фенилглицин

Описание

L-Phenylglycine is an amide that belongs to the group of pyridoxal phosphate analogues. It has been shown to be a response element for enzymes and natural compounds in Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. It inhibits aminotransferase activity, dopamine synthesis, and microbial metabolism in these organisms. This compound also has a structural analysis that includes x-ray diffraction data, which can be used to identify its three-dimensional structure.
