Description

L-Phenylalanine Decarboxylase F. Strep- Tococcus Faecalis* CAS NO 9075-72-3 is a highly specific enzyme that catalyzes the decarboxylation of L-phenylalanine, a critical reaction in the biosynthesis of aromatic amines and neurotransmitters. This biocatalyst is essential for research and industrial processes requiring precise, stereospecific transformations under mild conditions. It is primarily utilized by biotechnology firms, pharmaceutical R&D laboratories, and academic research institutions focused on metabolic pathway studies, enzyme mechanism investigations, and the development of biosensors or biocatalytic synthesis routes.

Application

• Biocatalyst in Fine Chemical Synthesis: For the stereoselective production of aromatic amines and related pharmaceutical intermediates.
• Enzymatic Research & Development: As a model enzyme for studying decarboxylase mechanisms, kinetics, and inhibition studies.
• Diagnostic Kit Manufacturing: A key component in enzymatic assays and biosensors designed to detect L-phenylalanine or monitor specific metabolic pathways.
• Metabolic Pathway Analysis: Used in biochemical research to elucidate and manipulate pathways involving aromatic amino acid metabolism in microorganisms and higher organisms.
• Pharmaceutical Screening: Employed in high-throughput screening platforms to identify potential inhibitors or modulators of decarboxylase activity for drug discovery.
• Educational & Reference Standard: Serves as a high-purity biochemical reagent for university-level teaching and as a calibration standard in analytical laboratories.

Quality Control

Our enzyme products are manufactured and tested under stringent quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and optimal catalytic activity. Each lot is characterized for specific activity, purity, and stability. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as activity units, protein content, and absence of significant contaminating activities are provided and available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store at -20°C or below. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is sealed tightly after each use to prevent moisture absorption, which can lead to loss of activity. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
