dl norvaline

DL-Norvaline (2-Aminopentanoic acid) is a non-competitive inhibitor of arginase.

L-Norvaline is an arginase inhibitor and a non-protein branched-chain amino acid. L-Norvaline has previously been reported as a natural component of the antifungal peptide of Bacillus subtilis. L-Norvaline and other modified branched-chain amino acids have received attention in recent studies because they appear to be incorporated into some recombinant proteins found in E. coli.
