General Description

3-(2-Pyridyl)-DL-alanine, also known as BAP (2-Pyridyl Alanine), is a non-natural, water-soluble, and stable amino acid derivative that is used in chemical research and pharmaceutical applications. It is a synthetic analogue of the naturally occurring amino acid alanine, where the methyl group on the side chain has been replaced with a 2-pyridyl group. This chemical compound has shown promise in various biological studies, particularly in the pharmaceutical industry, due to its potential to be used as a building block in the development of new drugs and as a tool for probing protein interactions. Additionally, BAP has been used as a chiral auxiliary in organic synthesis to control the stereochemistry of reactions.
