General description

Substrate for nitric oxide synthetase; induces insulin release by a nitric oxide-dependent mechanism.

Application

DL-Arginine hydrochloride (DL-Arg) is a racemic mixture of the natural proteinogenic amino acid L-arginine and the non-proteinogenic D-arginine. DL-Arg is used in physicochemical analysis of amino acid complexation dynamics and crystal structure formations.

The complexes of L-arginine and DL-lysine with pimelic acid are made up of singly positively charged zwitterionic amino acid cations and doubly negatively charged pimelate ions in a 2:1 ratio. In both structures, the amino acid molecules form twofold symmetric

Although naturally abundant amino acids are represented mainly by l-enantiomers, fermented foods are known to contain various d-amino acids. Enantiospecific profiles of food products can vary due to fermentation by bacteria, and such alterations may contribute to changes in food
