5-Fluoro-L-tryptophan monohydrate

5-Fluoro-L-tryptophan monohydrate is a tryptophan derivative incorporated into proteins during their synthesis. It is useful as a reporter group due 19F and provides a way to study enzyme mechanisms through NMR. 5-fluoro-L-tryptophan is nonspecifically cytotoxic due to malfunctioning enzymes containing 5-fluoro-Trp in place of Trp.Product Specifications5-Fluoro-L-tryptophan monohydrate; H-5-Fluoro-Trp-OHMOLECULAR BIOLOGY GRADEFormula: C11H11FN2O2·H2OMW: 240.240. g/molOff-white powderForms a nearly colorless to light yellow, clear to nearly clear solution when dissolved 1% in 1M HCl.
