Isoserine, with the CAS number 632-12-2, is an amino acid that is a structural isomer of serine. It possesses a hydroxymethyl group (-CH2OH) attached to the alpha carbon, similar to serine, but differs in the arrangement of its functional groups. Isoserine is classified as a non-essential amino acid, meaning that it can be synthesized by the body and is not required to be obtained solely through diet. It is involved in various biochemical processes, including protein synthesis and metabolism. Isoserine can exist in different forms, including L- and D- configurations, which may exhibit different biological activities. The substance is typically white or off-white in appearance and is soluble in water, making it suitable for various applications in biochemistry and pharmaceuticals. Its role in metabolic pathways and potential therapeutic applications are areas of ongoing research, particularly in relation to its structural similarity to other amino acids and its impact on protein structure and function.
