3,5-Difluoro-L-tyrosine(CAT: I014890) is a fluorinated amino acid analog widely used in biochemical and enzymology research. Its structural similarity to L-tyrosine, combined with fluorine substitution at positions 3 and 5 of the aromatic ring, makes it a powerful tool for studying enzyme mechanisms, protein structure-function relationships, and metabolic pathways involving tyrosine. The fluorine atoms alter the compound’s electronic properties, allowing researchers to probe enzyme-substrate interactions, study halogen bonding in proteins, and investigate the effects of tyrosine modification on biological activity. Its applications extend to understanding oxidative stress, signaling pathways, and the development of tyrosine-targeted therapeutics.
