L-Lysine is an essential proteinogenic alfa amino acid used in various applications such as non-animal sourced supplement in cell culture media. It acts as a substrate of enzymes like L-lysine oxidase as well as a component of poly-lysine polymers. It is also involved in the studies of glycation mechanism.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
