Product Description
L-Proline is a proteinogenic amino acid, meaning it is used as a building block in the synthesis of proteins. It is unique among the 20 common amino acids due to its secondary amine structure, which imparts conformational rigidity to protein structures. L-Proline is a major component of collagen and is therefore critical for skin, cartilage, and bone health. Beyond its biological role, it is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry, biotechnology, and as a powerful organocatalyst in organic synthesis.
