|  |  | L-PHENYL-D5-ALANINE Usage And Synthesis | 
 | Chemical Properties | White Solid |  | Uses | Labeled L-Phenylalanine is an essential amino acid. L-Phenylalanine is biologically converted into L-tyrosine, another one of the DNA-encoded amino acids, which in turn is converted to L-DOPA and furt
her converted into dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine. L-Phenylalanine is produced for medical, feed, and nutritional applications such as in the preparation of Aspartame. |  | Uses | Labeled L-Phenylalanine is an essential amino acid.
