Description

D,L-Glutamic acid is a mixture of naturally occurring proteinogenic L-glutamic acid and non-proteinogenic D-glutamic acid. D,L-Glutamic acid is used to study mechanisms of crystal formation and self-assembly on surfaces and copolymer development. D-Glutamic acid is a component of bacterial peptidoglycans, produced by glutamate racemase.
