Identification
Name:D-Phenylalanine
DescriptionD-phenylalanine is a member of the chemical class known as alpha amino acids and derivatives. These are amino acids in which the amino group is attached to the carbon atom immediately adjacent to the carboxylate group (alpha carbon). Phenylalanine (abbreviated as Phe or F) is an alpha-amino acid with the formula C6H5CH2CH(NH2)COOH. This essential amino acid is classified as nonpolar because of the hydrophobic nature of the benzyl side chain. Metabolic engineering can enhance phenylalanine production in E. coli[PMID: 18080813] D-phenylalanine can be synthesized by glucose fermentation in E. coli using metabolic engineering. DAHP synthase and chorismate mutase-prephenate dehydratase form a pathway where L-phenylalanine synthesis is deregulated and L-phenylalanine is converted into D-phenylalanine [Applied Biocatalysis in Specialty Chemicals and Pharmaceuticals, Chapter 5, p 65-75, Chapter DOI: 10.1021/bk-2001-0776.ch005]
