Common NameN-Lauroyl-L-Lysine
DescriptionN-Lauroyl-L-Lysine is a fatty acid derivative of the amino acid L-lysine, classified as an acylated amino acid. Its chemical structure features a lauroyl group (a dodecanoyl chain) linked to the amino group of L-lysine, which imparts amphiphilic properties to the molecule. This unique structure allows N-Lauroyl-L-Lysine to participate in various chemical reactions and pathways, particularly in the synthesis of complex molecular structures. For instance, it has been utilized in the fabrication of triple-functional molecular polyoxometalates (POMs), specifically NLLnH6-nV2Mo18O62 (where n = 1-6), using N-Lauroyl-L-Lysine as a precursor alongside H6V2Mo18O62 (PMID:39622109 ). This highlights its role in the development of advanced materials with potential applications in catalysis and nanotechnology. Additionally, N-Lauroyl-L-Lysine may influence cellular processes due to its interactions with lipid membranes and proteins, although specific biological pathways involving this compound require further investigation.
