General description

We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of the 12 Principles of Green Chemistry. 5-Fluoro-L-tryptophan is a tryptophan derivative with a fluoro group at position 5 of the indole ring. This tryptophan derivative was produced using a method which produces less waste than traditional methods. Click here for more information.

Application

5-Fluoro-ʟ-tryptophan finds application in cell biology, biochemical and metabolomics research.

Biochem/physiol Actions

5-Fluoro-Trp is nonspecifically cytotoxic. It is believed this is due to malfunctioning enzymes that have had replacements of Trp residues by 5-fluoro-Trp. However, at least one case is known where 5-fluoro-Trp substitution leads to significantly greater catalytic activity.

Features and Benefits

  • Can be used in Metabolomics and Biochemical research
  • High-quality compound suitable for multiple research applications
