L-Phenylalanine-d5 is a deuterated form of the essential amino acid L-phenylalanine, where five hydrogen atoms in the benzyl side chain are replaced with deuterium. This modification makes the compound heavier and useful in various scientific applications, including metabolic studies, tracer experiments, and NMR spectroscopy. L-Phenylalanine-d5 retains the same biological properties as regular L-phenylalanine but with altered isotopic composition, enabling researchers to track its metabolic pathways and study enzyme-substrate interactions with enhanced precision.
