L-Alanine-D7 is primarily used as a stable isotope-labeled compound in various scientific research applications. It serves as an internal standard in mass spectrometry, enabling precise quantification of alanine in biological samples. This is particularly useful in metabolomics studies to track metabolic pathways and understand biochemical processes. Additionally, it is employed in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy for structural analysis and dynamic studies of proteins and peptides. Its deuterium labeling allows for minimal interference with natural metabolic processes, making it a valuable tool in pharmacokinetics and drug metabolism research.
