Metabolite Identification
Common NameDiaminopimelic acid
DescriptionDiaminopimelic acid, also known as LL-2,6-diaminopimelate or acid, diaminopimelic, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as l-alpha-amino acids. These are alpha amino acids which have the L-configuration of the alpha-carbon atom. Diaminopimelic acid exists as a solid, very hydrophobic, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral molecule. Diaminopimelic acid exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans.
