L-Leucine-13C（Cat No.:S000573） is a specialized form of leucine, an essential branched-chain amino acid crucial for protein synthesis and cellular metabolism. The “13C” notation indicates that one or more carbon atoms in the leucine molecule are replaced with the stable carbon isotope carbon-13. This isotopic labeling facilitates precise tracking of leucine metabolism and its incorporation into proteins and other biomolecules using advanced analytical techniques like mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
