Metabolite Identification
Common NameD-beta-lysine
DescriptionD-beta-lysine is a non-proteinogenic amino acid belonging to the class of lysine derivatives. Its chemical structure features a beta-positioned amino group relative to the carboxyl group, distinguishing it from the more common L-lysine. D-beta-lysine can be synthesized through various biochemical pathways, notably involving the transformation of L-lysine via a newly identified 2,3-aminomutase, which facilitates its conversion from L-lysine, itself derived from acetates through the TCA cycle and the diaminopimelic acid pathway (PMID:1490884 ). Additionally, D-beta-lysine has been utilized as a precursor in synthetic chemistry, notably in the total synthesis of bellenamine through a modified CURTIUS reaction (PMID:1473996 ). Furthermore, it can be synthesized from D-ornithine via the ARNDT-EISTERT homologation sequence (PMID:1473996 ). The compound has also been isolated from culture conditions involving L-lysine and ammonium sulfate, highlighting its potential as a metabolic product in microbial systems (PMID:1490885 ). Overall, D-beta-lysine serves as an important compound in both synthetic and metabolic contexts within biochemical research.
