gamma-Glutamyl-beta-cyanoalanine
This compound belongs to the family of N-acyl-Alpha Amino Acids. These are amino acids in which the amino group is attached to the carbon atom immediately adjacent to the carboxylate group (alpha carbon).
3-Cyanoalanine
Beta-cyanoalanine, also known as propargylglycine, is a member of the class of compounds known as alpha amino acids. Alpha amino acids are amino acids in which the amino group is attached to the carbon atom immediately adjacent to the carboxylate group (alpha carbon). Beta-cyanoalanine is soluble (in water) and an extremely strong acidic compound (based on its pKa). Beta-cyanoalanine can be found in broad bean, which makes beta-cyanoalanine a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product.
