7-Methyl-DL-tryptophan (Highly Pure)

7-Methyl-DL-tryptophan (Highly Pure) by Molecular Depot is a 7-methyl-DL-tryptophan, the racemic tryptophan analogue carrying a methyl group at position seven of the indole ring. Position seven sits adjacent to the ring nitrogen, so a substituent there interferes with the hydrogen bonding that position makes, which is a different kind of perturbation from a methyl group further round the ring. It is used as a tryptophan analogue in enzyme and binding studies, in protein engineering and in synthetic chemistry. Each unit contains 500 mg. MBP supplies Molecular Depot research reagents to research labs in the United States, Canada and worldwide.
