Supplementation of 5% phenylalanine plus 0.4% alpha-methylphenylalanine to the standard diet or 1% phenylalanine plus 0.08% alpha-methylphenylalanine to the drinking water produced phenylketonuria-like conditions in 5-day-old chicks. An increase of 10 to 15-fold in the phenylalanine content was observed in

Hyperphenylalaninaemia induced by daily injections of alpha-methylphenylalanine plus phenylalanine caused 20-40% decreases in cerebral dopamine (3,4-dihydroxyphenethylamine) and noradrenaline in 7- and 11-day-old rats. alpha-Methylphenylalanine alone as well as phenylalanine alone caused cerebral dopamine depletion. However, the effects were not additive

Previous work has shown that incorporation of either 1-aminocyclohexanecarboxylic acid (Ac6c) or alpha-methyl-p-phosphonophenylalanine ((alpha-Me)Ppp) in the phosphotyrosyl (pTyr) C-proximal position (pY + 1 residue) of Grb2 SH2 domain binding peptides confers high affinity. The tetralin-based (S)-2-amino-6-phosphonotetralin-2-carboxylic acid (Atc(6-PO3H2)) simultaneously presents

We have synthesized, by solution methods, and fully characterized a variety of (alpha Me)Phe derivatives and model peptides (to the pentapeptide level). The results of the solution conformational analysis, performed by using infrared absorption and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance, support
