D-Valine(CAT: R054720) is the D-enantiomer of the branched-chain amino acid valine, featuring a chiral center and an isopropyl side chain. Unlike its biologically prevalent L-form, D-valine is primarily used in peptide synthesis, pharmaceutical research, and enzyme mechanism studies. It plays a crucial role in designing peptidomimetics and protease-resistant therapeutic peptides, offering enhanced metabolic stability and altered biological activity. D-Valine is also employed in stereochemical investigations and structure–activity relationship (SAR) analyses. Its incorporation into synthetic peptides allows for modulation of conformation, receptor selectivity, and degradation resistance, making it a valuable tool in drug discovery and biochemical engineering.
