Common NameMeso-2,6-diaminoheptanedioate
DescriptionMeso-2,6-diaminoheptanedioate is a member of the chemical class known as Alpha Amino Acids and Derivatives. These are amino acids in which the amino group is attached to the carbon atom immediately adjacent to the carboxylate group (alpha carbon). This particular compound is at a branch point in lysine biosynthesis where it is either the penultimate step in lysine biosynthesis in E. coli (via diaminopimelate decarboxylase, LysA) or it can be directed towards the synthesis of peptidoglycan (via murE).
