General description
2-Methylbutyric acid is a short-chain fatty acid used as a chemical intermediate for plasticizers and lubricants.
Enantioselective esterification of (+/-)-2-methylbutynic acid catalyzed by Chromobacterium viscosum lipase immobilized in microemulsion-based organogels has been investigated.

The mammalian main olfactory pathway detects myriad volatile chemicals using >1,000 odorant receptor (OR) genes, which are organized into two phylogenetically distinct classes (class I and class II). An important question is how these evolutionarily conserved classes contribute to odor

In alkaline conditions, Listeria monocytogenes cells develop higher proportions of branched-chain fatty acids (FAs), including more anteiso forms. In acid conditions, the opposite occurs. Reduced growth of pH-sensitive mutants at adverse pH (5.0/9.0) was alleviated by the addition of 2-methylbutyrate
