L-Leucine-15N（Cat No.:S000570） is a specialized form of leucine, an essential branched-chain amino acid crucial for protein synthesis and cellular metabolism. The “15N” designation indicates that all nitrogen atoms in the leucine molecule are replaced with the stable nitrogen isotope nitrogen-15. 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.
