| D(-)-Glutamic acid Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | White cryst. powder | | Uses | D-Glutamic Acid is the unnatural (R)-enantiomer of Glutamic Acid, a non-essential amino acid. Its salt form (glutamate) is an important neurotransmitter that plays a key role in long-term potentiation
and is important for learning and memory. Glutamic Acid is also a key molecule in cellular metabolism. | | Uses | D-Glutamic acid acts as a superior to alpha ketoglutarate. It helps in the growth of Lactobacillus arabinosus. It can inhibit the IgE binding to peanut allergens. It is widely used in pharmaceuticals and foods. | | Uses | D-glutamic acid is suitable for use in the structure-affinity relationship (SAR)-study of GR (glutamate racemase) enzyme and its inhibitors. | | Definition | ChEBI: An optically active form of glutamic acid having D-configuration. | | General Description | D-Glutamic acid is an essential constituent of the bacterial peptidoglycan structure. It is added to UDP-N-acetylmuramyl-L-alanine (UDP-MurNAc-L-alanine) by the enzyme D-glutamic acid-adding enzyme (murD). This is, then, incorporated into the peptidoglycan precursor. Peptidoglycan makes up the cell walls of Gram-positive and -negative bacteria. The conversion of L-glutamate to D-glutamate by glutamate racemase (GR) enzyme is an essential step in the synthesis of peptidoglycan. | | Biological Activity | Excitatory amino acid acting at NMDA receptors; less active than the L-isomer. | | Biochem/physiol Actions | Unnatural isomer of glutamic acid. |
