DL-Asparagine（Cat No.:R020184）is a racemic mixture containing both D- and L-enantiomers of asparagine, a non-essential, polar amino acid involved in protein synthesis and nitrogen metabolism. While the L-form is naturally occurring and incorporated into proteins, the D-form is useful in studying stereospecific enzymatic processes and peptide interactions. DL-Asparagine is commonly used in biochemical research, microbial culture media, and metabolic studies to investigate amino acid transport, catabolism, and racemization. Its availability in racemic form makes it valuable for probing structural and functional differences between amino acid isomers.
