N-ACETYLAMINOMETHYLPHOSPHONATE Usage And Synthesis

Description

N-Acetylaminomethylphosphoric Acid is a phosphonic acid that is mainly used in the field of biochemistry laboratory research.  In particular, studies related to biochemistry, immunology and cell biology are often an important part of investigating the effects of phosphorylation on proteins and cellular processes. N-Acetylaminomethylphosphoric Acid is an inhibitor of protein phosphorylation that binds to the active site of a protein kinase, thereby hindering the enzyme's ability to phosphorylate its substrate.

Uses

N-Acetylaminomethylphosphoric Acid is been found to show inhibitory properties towards ureases.

Definition

ChEBI: (acetamidomethyl)phosphonic acid is a member of the class of acetamides obtained by formal condensation of acetic acid with the amino group of (aminomethyl)phosphonic acid. It is a member of acetamides and a member of phosphonic acids. It is functionally related to an (aminomethyl)phosphonic acid. It is a conjugate acid of an (acetamidomethyl)phosphonate(1-).
