D-Homophenylalanine（Cat No.:L046871）is a non-proteinogenic amino acid structurally similar to phenylalanine but with an extended side chain containing one additional methylene group. It exists in the D-configuration, which is the mirror image of the naturally occurring L-form. This stereoisomer is used in peptide synthesis to modify biological activity, increase resistance to enzymatic degradation, and alter receptor binding profiles. D-Homophenylalanine is often incorporated into pharmaceuticals, enzyme inhibitors, and peptide-based drugs to enhance stability and bioavailability. Its hydrophobic aromatic side chain supports interactions with protein targets in medicinal and biochemical research.
