L-[¹⁵N]Phenylalanine(CAT: C000310) plays a pivotal role in the realm of molecular biology and protein research. It is an isotopically labeled analog of L-Phenylalanine, an essential amino acid. The labeled form contains the stable isotope nitrogen-15 (¹⁵N), making it distinct from the naturally occurring nitrogen-14 (¹⁴N). L-[¹⁵N]Phenylalanine is utilized as a genetic tool in protein research to selectively label proteins. This labeling aids in tracking the fate and behavior of the labeled amino acid within the protein structure, enabling a deeper understanding of protein dynamics and interactions.
