Two pentapeptides Phe-Leu-X-Glu-Val where X is either the L-threo-gamma-fluoroglutamic acid or the L-erythro-isomer have been synthesized and tested as substrates in the vitamin K-dependent carboxylation. Both peptides are carboxylated, but the reaction occurs exclusively on the glutamic acid of the
Biochemical and biological properties of methotrexate analogs containing D-glutamic acid or D-erythro, threo-4-fluoroglutamic acid.

Fluorinated amino acids are used as enzyme inhibitors, mechanistic probes and in the production of pharmacologically active peptides. Because enantiomerically pure 4-fluoroglutamate is difficult to prepare, the selective degradation of the L-isomer is a potentially convenient method of obtaining D-4-fluoroglutamate
Stereoisomers of 4-fluoroglutamic acid: influence on Escherichia coli glutamate decarboxylase.

Methotrexate is glutamylated in cultured hepatoma cells to derivatives that contain a total of 2 to 5 gamma-glutamyl residues. The rate of polyglutamate formation and extent of accumulation are saturable with respect to both medium concentration of methotrexate and time.
