2-Amino-5-methyl-5-hexenoic acid

Methionine Analog X

2-Amino-5-methyl-5-hexenoic acid is a methionine analog that acts primarily through competitive inhibition of methionine, leading to the suppression of cell growth. This compound effectively inhibits protein synthesis without affecting DNA or RNA synthesis, demonstrating its potential utility in studies involving bacterial strains such as S. typhimurium TA1535 and E. coli K-12. It is valuable for research applications aimed at understanding the metabolic processes and protein synthesis pathways in microbial organisms.
