D-(-)-Norleucine（Cat No.:I043105）is the D-enantiomer of norleucine, a non-proteinogenic amino acid and a derivative of leucine. Unlike its L-form, which is incorporated into proteins, D-(-)-norleucine is primarily used in scientific research, particularly in peptide synthesis and stereochemical studies. It can also serve as a structural analog in studies of amino acid metabolism and enzyme activity. D-(-)-norleucine has been explored for its potential role in modulating biological processes such as protein folding, cell signaling, and the regulation of metabolic pathways, including those involved in amino acid catabolism.
