dl-alanine

DL-Alanine (DL-2-Aminopropionic acid) is an amino acid that is a racemic compound of L- and D-alanine.DL-Alanine is often used as a reducing and capping agent in conjunction with aqueous silver nitrate for nanoparticle generation.DL-Alanine is a sweetening agent, and can be grouped with glycine and sodium saccharin.DL-Alanine plays an important role in glucose-alanine cycling between tissues and liver.DL-Alanine can be used to study the chelation of transition metals such as Cu, Zn, and Cd.

H-DL-Abu-OH is a non-essential amino acid and DL-alanine, widely used in biochemical experiments and drug synthesis research.

3-Amino-2-methylpropanoic acid (α-Methyl-β-alanine) is the product from the conversion of N-carbamyl-beta-aminoisobutyric acid by the enzyme Beta-ureidopropionase (EC 3.5.1.6), the last step in pyrimidine degradation. Beta-ureidopropionase deficiency is an inborn error of pyrimidine degradation associated with neurological abnormalities.

2,3-Diaminopropanoic acid hydrochloride (3-Amino-DL-alanine monohydrochloride) is an amino acid amide used as a substrate for studying the action of aminopeptidase enzyme.
