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