N-Acetyl-3-mercaptovaline, with the CAS number 59-53-0, is an amino acid derivative characterized by the presence of a mercapto group (-SH) and an acetyl group (-COCH3) attached to the valine structure. This compound is typically a white to off-white crystalline solid and is soluble in water and organic solvents, reflecting its polar nature due to the functional groups present. The mercapto group contributes to its reactivity, allowing it to participate in various biochemical processes, including protein synthesis and redox reactions. N-Acetyl-3-mercaptovaline may also exhibit antioxidant properties, which can be beneficial in biological systems. Its structural features make it relevant in pharmaceutical and biochemical research, particularly in studies related to sulfur-containing compounds and their roles in cellular functions. As with many chemical substances, handling should be done with care, considering potential toxicity and the need for proper safety protocols in laboratory settings.
