Metabolite Identification
Common NameD-Isoleucine
DescriptionD-Isoleucine is a nonproteinogenic amino acid belonging to the class of amino acids. Its chemical structure features a branched-chain configuration, characterized by a unique Cβ-epimerization process that distinguishes it from its L-isomer counterpart, making it less common in natural peptides (PMID:31061373 ). D-Isoleucine participates in various biochemical pathways, including its role in diagnostic models where it is combined with other metabolites like d-serine and β-(pyrazol-1-yl)-l-alanine, achieving high predictive accuracy (PMID:34229439 ). It has also been utilized in the synthesis of chiral superatomic silver nanoclusters, showcasing its versatility in chemical applications (PMID:33629455 ). Additionally, D-isoleucine has been implicated in modulating neurotransmission, specifically in reducing glycinergic transmission and enhancing glycine release through hetero-exchange mechanisms (PMID:29867218 ). Furthermore, its selective assay capabilities allow for the differentiation of isoleucine isomers in complex mixtures (PMID:30123202 ). Notably, research indicates significant variations in serum concentrations of D-isoleucine and other amino acids in hepatocellular carcinoma patients compared to healthy individuals, highlighting its potential relevance in clinical chemistry (PMID:29492623 ).
