D-Norvaline(CAS: 2013-12-9)

D-Norvaline is an amino acid with the chemical formula C5H9NO2. It is a derivative of valine with the side chain reduced to a methyl group. D-Norvaline is chiral and exists as a pair of enantiomers. It is mainly used in research and pharmaceutical applications due to its unique chemical properties.

D-Norvaline is primarily used in research for studying protein synthesis and as a tool in biochemistry. It can also be used in the development of pharmaceuticals due to its unique properties. There are no significant industrial or food applications for D-Norvaline.

D-Norvaline is generally considered safe for research and pharmaceutical use. However, it should be handled with care, especially in large quantities, due to its potential to irritate skin and eyes. Protective gloves, goggles, and lab coats are recommended. Storage should be in a cool, dry place to maintain its stability.

D-Norvaline should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. It is recommended to use a tightly sealed container to prevent degradation. The optimal temperature range is 15-25°C (59-77°F). Avoid storing in humid environments as this can lead to deliquescence and loss of purity.
