Disease relevance of Valinol

  • The binding of 10 isomeric alpha-amino-heptanoic acids, of two isomeric alpha-amino-octanoic acids, of isoleucinol and valinol, and of various alpha-hydroxy acids to isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase from Escherichia coli MRE 600 has been investigated by an ultracentrifuge method [1].
 

High impact information on Valinol

  • TVs generally have molecular weights of approximately 1100-1200 Da, and are characterized by an acetylated N-terminus, the presence of an aminoalcohol, e.g. leucinol, isoleucinol or valinol, at the C-terminus, and eleven residues including three alpha-aminoisobutyric acids in the molecule [2].
  • The structure of L-valinol [(S)-(+)-2-amino-3-methylbutan-1-ol or hydroxylated L-valine], C(5)H(13)NO, has been determined at 100 K by single-crystal X-ray diffraction [3].
