Metabolite Identification
Common NameD-Valine
DescriptionD-Valine is a non-proteinogenic amino acid belonging to the class of branched-chain amino acids. Its chemical structure features a branched aliphatic side chain, which distinguishes it from its L-enantiomer. D-Valine participates in various biochemical pathways, including the metabolic detoxification processes mediated by d-amino acid oxidase (DAO), which converts non-toxic D-valine into cytotoxic products, thereby allowing for selective enrichment of genetically modified plants (PMID:38974862 ). Additionally, D-Valine has been implicated in the regulation of interfacial properties in aqueous zinc ion batteries, where its anionic forms contribute to efficient proton transport and electric field dynamics (PMID:40202425 ). Furthermore, D-Valine has been shown to enhance levels of sphingomyelins and other metabolites in specific supplementation studies (PMID:39271063 ). It also serves as a substrate for the synthesis of thiohydantoins, which exhibit significant inhibitory effects on ureolytic activity in fungal lysates (PMID:40714478 ). The versatility of D-Valine in both synthetic and biological contexts underscores its importance in various chemical and biological systems.
