Description

General description

L-Lysine is an amino acid with a basic side chain and is amphipathic in nature. It has a protonated alkyl amino group and is fully protonated at physiological pH. L-lysine mainly participates in electrostatic interactions in proteins.

Application

L-Lysine monohydrate has been used in:

SILAC (stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture) method
the complete synthetic (C) medium for positive selection screening of yeast cells
the growth medium for cells

Biochem/physiol Actions

L-Lysine is an essential proteinogenic α amino acid used in a wide range of applications including as a non-animal sourced supplement in cell culture media, a substrate of enzymes such as L-lysine oxidase (EC 1.4.3.14), a component of poly-lysine polymers, and a substrate for oxidation and glycation mechanism studies.
