L-Proline（Cat No.:R040356）is a naturally occurring, cyclic amino acid distinguished by its secondary amine structure, where the amino group is part of a five-membered pyrrolidine ring. This unique configuration imparts conformational rigidity, significantly influencing protein folding and stability. L-Proline plays a crucial role in the formation of collagen, a key structural protein in connective tissues. In synthetic chemistry, it is widely used as an organocatalyst in asymmetric reactions, such as aldol and Mannich reactions. Its chirality and reactivity make it valuable in peptide synthesis, pharmaceutical development, and biochemical research applications.
