Phenylglycine is the organic compound with the formula C 6 H 5 CH(NH 2)CO 2 H. It is a non-proteinogenic alpha amino acid related to alanine, but with a phenyl group in place of the methyl group. It is a white solid. The compound exhibits some biological activity. [1]
N-Phenylglycine is an organic compound with the formula C 6 H 5 NHCH 2 CO 2 H. This white solid achieved fame as the industrial precursor to indigo dye . [ 1 ] It is a non-proteinogenic alpha amino acid related to sarcosine , but with an N - phenyl group in place of N - methyl .
Biosynthesis of HPG. HPG is synthesized from prephenate, an intermediate in the shikimic acid pathway and also a precursor to tyrosine.Prephenate is aromatized by prephenate dehydrogenase (Pdh) using NAD + as a cofactor to produce 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate. 4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvate is then oxidized by 4-hydroxymandelate synthase (4HmaS) using oxygen to form 4-hydroxymandelate and hydrogen ...
N-phenylsydnone was first prepared in 1935 by John Campbell Earl and Alan W. Mackney [Wikidata] by cyclodehydration of N-Nitroso-N-phenylglycine with acetic anhydride. [4] Later work showed that this could be applied fairly generally to the nitrosamines of N-substituted amino acids .
[1] (S)-DHPG has been investigated for therapeutic effects in the treatment of neuronal injury (such as those associated with ischemia or hypoxia), cognitive enhancement, and Alzheimer's disease. [1] 3,5-Dihydroxyphenylglycine can be isolated from the latex of Euphorbia helioscopia. [2] DHGP is also found in vancomycin and related glycopeptides.
A non-SI, metric unit of length equal to 10 −10 metre, i.e. 1 ⁄ 10000000000 of a metre or 0.1 nanometre. The angstrom is commonly used in the natural sciences to express microscopic or atomic-scale distances, including the sizes of atomic nuclei, wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation, and lengths of chemical bonds (e.g. the covalent ...
In organic chemistry, functionality is often used as a synonym for functional group. For example, a hydroxyl group can also be called a HO-function. [1] [2] Functionalisation means the introduction of functional groups, for example the functionalisation of a surface [3] (e.g. silanization for the specific modification of the adhesion of a surface)
DAPT is a chemical compound used in the study of the Notch signaling pathway. [1] DAPT is a γ-secretase inhibitor. It indirectly inhibits Notch, which is a substrate for γ-secretase. [2] In a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease, DAPT reduces the levels of beta-amyloid. [3]
