DL-Tryptophan

Product Description

DL-Tryptophan (Code: 06313) is a racemic mixture of D- and L-tryptophan, appearing as a white to off-white crystalline powder with mild odor. This synthetic amino acid blend possesses the same molecular formula as L-tryptophan (C₁₁H₁₂N₂O₂) but contains both optical isomers, offering versatility for chemical synthesis, biochemical research, and nutritional analysis.

Unlike naturally occurring L-Tryptophan, which is biologically active, DL-Tryptophan serves primarily as a reference standard, precursor in organic synthesis, and component in laboratory media where chirality is not critical. It is frequently used in amino acid studies, pharmaceutical intermediate preparation, and protein chemistry research.
