2-Aminoisobutyric Acid Usage And Synthesis
Chemical Properties White crystalline powder
Uses 2-Aminoisobutyric Acid inotransferases which can be used as a diagnostic tool to predict type II diabetes.
Definition ChEBI: A rare, non-protein amino acid and end-product of pyrimidine metabolism, excreted in urine and found in some antibiotics of fungal origin. With the exception of a few bacteria, it is non-metabolisable, and therefore used in bioassays.
Purification Methods Crystallise the acid from aqueous EtOH and dry it at 110o. [Zelinski & Stadnikoff Chem Ber 39 1726 1906, Beilstein
