7-Chloro-D-tryptophan(CAT: L028449) is a halogenated derivative of the amino acid tryptophan, widely used in biochemical and pharmaceutical research. The chlorine atom at the 7-position of the indole ring imparts unique electronic and steric properties, which can enhance or modify the biological activity of molecules incorporating this compound. This modified tryptophan is valuable for studying protein synthesis, receptor binding, and enzyme interactions, particularly in systems where the halogen substitution may influence molecular recognition. Additionally, 7-chloro-D-tryptophan is commonly employed in developing peptide-based therapeutics and as a building block in synthetic biology. Its use enables researchers to explore structure-activity relationships in drug design, often contributing to the creation of compounds with improved efficacy or altered pharmacokinetic profiles.
