Usage:
One of the 20 proteinogenic amino acids.
D-Alanine is a non-proteinogenic amino acid serving as a critical precursor in peptidoglycan biosynthesis for bacterial cell walls. Produced via enzymatic resolution or microbial fermentation, it features the molecular formula C3H7NO2 and CAS number 107-95-9.
Store in a cool, dry place away from oxidizers. While generally safe for industrial use, avoid inhalation of dust. Clinical applications require strict adherence to dosage guidelines due to potential metabolic interactions.
