NameN-acetyl-D-tryptophan
SpeciesSaccharomyces cerevisiae
StrainBaker's yeast
DescriptionN-acetyl-D-tryptophan belongs to the class of organic compounds known as n-acyl-alpha amino acids. N-acyl-alpha amino acids are compounds containing an alpha amino acid which bears an acyl group at its terminal nitrogen atom. N-acetyl-D-tryptophan is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). N-acetyl-D-tryptophan may be a unique S. cerevisiae (yeast) metabolite.
