N-Methyl-L-valine（Cat No.:I043114）is a modified version of the amino acid L-valine, where a methyl group is added to the nitrogen atom of the amino group. This modification alters the properties of the amino acid, influencing its steric configuration and potential interactions with other molecules. N-Methyl-L-valine is used in peptide synthesis and protein engineering to introduce specific structural changes or to investigate how methylation affects protein folding, function, or stability. It also serves as a useful tool in studying the role of methylated amino acids in cellular processes, such as enzyme activity and signaling pathways.
