Description

Methionine (MRX-1024) is an effective chemoprotective agent which can also inhibit the neuronal activity through GABAA receptor activation.


D-methionine is an optically active form of methionine having D-configuration. It is a methionine and a D-alpha-amino acid. It is a conjugate base of a D-methioninium. It is a conjugate acid of a D-methioninate. It is an enantiomer of a L-methionine. It is a tautomer of a D-methionine zwitterion.|A sulfur-containing essential L-amino acid that is important in many body functions.

D-Methionine Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

N-d-AAase activity was measured using N-acetyl-d-methionine as a substrate. Concentration of reaction product was measured by applying a d-amino acid oxidase coupling with horse radish peroxidase. The detailed condition was as previously described [17]. Basically, N-d-AAase and N-acetyl-d-methionine were incubated at 4 ◦C. Then the mixture of d-amino acid oxidase and colorimetric solution containing peroxidase (10 U/ml), 4-aminoantipyrine (0.04 g/ml) and 0.8 l phenol was added. The OD at wavelength 520 nm was measured. One unit was defined as generation of 1 mol d-methionine in 1 min. Protein concentration was determined by the Bradford method and bovine serum albumin as the standard [32]. Kinetic parameters kcat and Km values were determined by fitting the initial rates as a function of substrate concentration to the Michaelis–Menten equation.
