D-Glutamic acid（Cat No.:R058372）is the D-enantiomer of the naturally occurring amino acid glutamic acid, with the molecular formula C5H9NO4. Unlike its L-counterpart, which is prevalent in proteins, D-glutamic acid is primarily found in bacterial cell walls, especially in the peptidoglycan layer, contributing to structural integrity and resistance to enzymatic degradation. It plays a role in bacterial metabolism and serves as a precursor in the synthesis of antibiotics and other bioactive compounds. D-Glutamic acid is also used in biochemical research to study stereoisomeric effects in enzyme-substrate interactions and protein folding mechanisms.
