化學(xué)的特性
L-homocysteine is an aliphatic amino acid with the molecular formula (C8H16N2O4S2). It is a white powder with an acidic taste and is easily soluble in water. It has limited solubility in ethanol. L-homocysteine has a sulfhydryl group on its side chain, which allows it to form disulfide bonds with other L-homocysteine residues in proteins. This feature contributes to the stable three-dimensional structure of proteins. As a result, L-homocysteine finds extensive applications in industries such as pharmaceuticals, food, feed, and cosmetics.
使用
Increased levels lead to hyperhomocysteinemia; a cardiovascular risk factor in prediction of coronary heart disease as well as being associated with congenital birth defects, pregnancy complications and cancer.
合成
L-homoserine(626-72-2) is biosynthesized from L-aspartate, which is synthesized from oxaloacetate, a TCA cycle intermediate. Homoserine is activated through esterification to form the O-acetyl ester by the enzyme homoserine O-acetyltransferase. In certain organisms, including the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and certain bacteria, hydrogen sulfide reacts with O-acetyl-L-homoserine, replacing the acetyl group and forming L-homocysteine.
純化方法
The acid (3g) is dissolved in freshly boiled H2O (30mL) under N2, cooled under N2 (all operations should be under N2), absolute EtOH (100mL) is added, the acid is filtered off, and a second crop is obtained by diluting the filtrate to 500mL with absolute EtOH, kept overnight in a refrigerator, filtered, washed with EtOH and dried in a vacuum. The D(R,R)-form has similar properties but is –ve in M HCl and +ve in H2O.
