3-Fluorophenylalanine (Cat No.: I020882) is a synthetic analog of the amino acid phenylalanine, in which a fluorine atom is substituted at the meta (3-) position on the aromatic ring. It is commonly used in biochemical and pharmacological research to study protein structure, enzyme-substrate interactions, and metabolic pathways. Incorporation of 3-fluorophenylalanine into peptides or proteins can alter their physicochemical properties, such as hydrophobicity and stability. Additionally, it serves as a probe in fluorine-19 NMR spectroscopy for investigating protein folding, dynamics, and interactions.
