DL - Lysine

Basic Information

Physical Properties

• Appearance: Usually appears as a white crystalline powder.
• Solubility: It is soluble in water, and its solubility is affected by factors such as temperature and pH.
• Melting Point: Has a relatively high melting point, which is related to its molecular structure and intermolecular forces.

Biological Functions

• Protein Synthesis: It is a crucial component for protein synthesis. It is incorporated into the polypeptide chain during protein biosynthesis according to the genetic code, helping to determine the structure and function of proteins.
• Nutritional Importance: DL - Lysine is an essential amino acid for humans and animals, meaning it cannot be synthesized by the body and must be obtained from the diet. It plays a vital role in promoting growth, maintaining normal physiological functions, and enhancing the immune system. For example, in children, adequate lysine is necessary for normal growth and development.
• Metabolic Regulation: It is involved in various metabolic pathways. It can be converted into other important metabolites, such as cadaverine and acetyl - CoA, which are involved in the biosynthesis of other substances and energy metabolism.

Dietary Sources

Industrial Applications

• Food Industry: It is used as a food additive to improve the nutritional value of food. It is often added to cereals and other foods to make up for the deficiency of lysine in these products, thereby enhancing their protein quality.
• Pharmaceutical Industry: DL - Lysine is used in the production of nutritional supplements and some drugs. It is used to treat lysine deficiency - related diseases and to support overall health, such as promoting wound healing and improving the function of the immune system.
• Animal Feed: It is widely used in the animal feed industry. Adding DL - Lysine to animal feed can improve the growth performance and feed efficiency of livestock and poultry, reduce the cost of feed production, and increase the economic benefits of the breeding industry.
