Description

Glycine-15N is a stable isotope-labeled analog of the fundamental amino acid glycine, where the nitrogen atom is enriched with the 15N isotope. This product is essential for advanced research and analytical applications requiring precise molecular tracking and quantification. It is a critical reagent for scientists and manufacturers in the fields of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, metabolic research, and pharmaceutical development.

Application

• NMR Spectroscopy: Used as an internal standard and tracer in protein structure determination and biomolecular interaction studies.
• Mass Spectrometry: Serves as a labeled standard for the accurate quantification of glycine and related metabolites in complex biological samples.
• Metabolic Pathway Analysis: A vital tool for tracing nitrogen incorporation and flux in plant, animal, and microbial metabolism research.
• Pharmaceutical R&D: Employed in the development and testing of new drugs, particularly in pharmacokinetic and drug metabolism studies.
• Proteomics & Stable Isotope Labeling: Integral to quantitative proteomics techniques like SILAC (Stable Isotope Labeling by Amino acids in Cell culture).
• Agricultural Research: Used to study nitrogen uptake and utilization efficiency in plants.
