D-Lysine Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

white to light yellow crystal powde

Uses

D-Lysine is the unnatural isomer of L-Lysine (L468895) that has the ability to reduce non-enzymatic glycation in vitro. D-Lysine also exists as polypeptide chains of poly-D-lysine, a nonspecific adhesion-promoting molecule that has the potential to be a polymeric drug carrier.

Uses

D-Lysine is used as a component of a wide array of polymers (poly-D-lysine), surfactants and biofilms to confer a positive (cationic) charge.

Definition

ChEBI: D-lysine is the D-enantiomer of the alpha-amino acid lysine. It has a role as a bacterial metabolite and a fungal metabolite. It is a lysine and a D-alpha-amino acid. It is a conjugate base of a D-lysinium(1+). It is a conjugate acid of a D-lysinate. It is an enantiomer of a L-lysine.
