D-Lysine(CAS: 923-27-3)

D-Lysine is an amino acid with the chemical formula C6H13NO2. It is one of the two enantiomers of Lysine, the other being L-Lysine. D-Lysine is a chiral compound that is naturally found in some proteins and is used in various scientific and industrial applications. It is a white crystalline solid with a high melting point and is soluble in water.

D-Lysine is primarily used in pharmaceuticals as a component in certain drugs and as a nutritional supplement. It also finds applications in the food industry as a flavor enhancer and in research for studying protein structures and enzymatic reactions. Additionally, it is used in the synthesis of other chemicals and as a chiral auxiliary in asymmetric catalysis.

D-Lysine is generally considered safe when used in appropriate amounts and under proper handling conditions. However, as with any chemical, it should be handled with care to avoid inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact. Safety data sheets (SDS) recommend protective measures such as gloves and safety goggles. It is non-toxic in recommended doses but may cause irritation if mishandled.

D-Lysine should be stored in a cool, dry, and dark place, away from moisture and strong light. It is typically kept in a sealed container to maintain purity and prevent contamination. The recommended storage temperature is below 25°C, and humidity levels should be kept low to ensure stability and prolong shelf life.
