Alanine Powder

 

Alanine powder is a non-essential α-amino acid with a chemical formula of C₃H₇NO₂ and a molecular weight of 89.09 g/mol. Its molecular structure contains a methyl side chain, making it a representative of hydrophobic amino acids with the following unique properties:

 

• Isoelectric point: pH 6.0 (suitable for neutral biological activity).
• Solubility: Solubility in water 167 g/L (25°C), easily soluble in polar solvents.
• Metabolic position: key intermediate in gluconeogenesis, connecting the glucose-alanine cycle.

 

 

1. Stereoisomers: L-Alanine vs. D-Alanine:

 

Type	Biological activity	Application areas
L-alanine	Participate in protein synthesis and energy metabolism	Medicines, food additives, sports supplements
D-alanine	Peptidoglycan components of bacterial cell walls	antibiotic production

 

2. Structural derivatives

• β-Alanine: a non-proteinogenic amino acid used to synthesize carnosine and improve muscle acid resistance.
• Alanine salts (such as magnesium alanine): enhance mineral bioavailability and are used in anti-fatigue functional foods.
• N-acetylalanine: a cosmetic moisturizer with a penetration rate 40% higher than glycerol.
