NameN-Acetyl-D-leucine
SpeciesSaccharomyces cerevisiae
StrainBaker's yeast
DescriptionN-Acetyl-D-leucine belongs to the class of organic compounds known as leucine and derivatives. Leucine and derivatives are compounds containing leucine or a derivative thereof resulting from reaction of leucine at the amino group or the carboxy group, or from the replacement of any hydrogen of glycine by a heteroatom. N-Acetyl-D-leucine is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). N-Acetyl-D-leucine may be a unique S. cerevisiae (yeast) metabolite.
