DescriptionD-Phenylalanine, also known as D-phe or DPN, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as phenylalanine and derivatives. Phenylalanine and derivatives are compounds containing phenylalanine or a derivative thereof resulting from reaction of phenylalanine at the amino group or the carboxy group, or from the replacement of any hydrogen of glycine by a heteroatom. D-Phenylalanine is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). D-Phenylalanine may be a unique S. cerevisiae (yeast) metabolite.
