D-leucine-1-13C(D-leucine-1-13C) is a D-leucine molecule containing the 13C isotope. It is chemically similar to naturally occurring D-leucine, but has the signature of the 13C isotope.
D-leucine-1-13C is widely used in biochemical research. Because of its stable isotope labeling, it can be used as a tracer in drug metabolism research, protein structure analysis, metabolic pathway research and so on. By detecting the distribution of 13C isotopes, the path and rate of metabolic reactions in organisms can be revealed.
The method of preparing D-leucine-1-13C is usually by chemical synthesis. First, a 13C isotope label is introduced in the reaction, and then a D-leucine molecule is synthesized. The specific synthetic method can be selected according to the desired purity and yield.
Regarding safety information, D-leucine-1-13C are chemicals and attention should be paid to related safety operations. Avoid contact with skin, inhalation of gases or dust, and properly store in a dry, well-ventilated place in accordance with the specifications for use and storage. In the use of the process should follow the relevant safety procedures. For further safety information, please refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
