Basic
Information of L-Lysine
Chemical Name: L-Lysine
Cas No.: 56-87-1
Molecular Formula: C6H14N2O2
Chemical Structure:
Lysine (symbol Lys
or K), encoded by the codons AAA and AAG, is an α-amino acid that is used in
the biosynthesis of proteins. It contains an α-amino group (which is in the
protonated −NH3+ form under biological conditions), an α-carboxylic acid group
(which is in the deprotonated −COO− form under biological conditions), and a
side chain lysyl ((CH2)4NH2), classifying it as a charged (at physiological
pH), aliphatic amino acid. It is essential in humans, meaning the body cannot
synthesize it and thus it must be obtained from the diet.
Lysine is a base, as are arginine and
histidine. The ε-amino group often participates in hydrogen bonding and as a
general base in catalysis. The ε-ammonium group (NH3+) is attached to the
fourth carbon from the α-carbon, which is attached to the carboxyl (C=OOH)
group.
L-lysine plays a particularly important
role in the immune system. It is involved in the development of antibodies and
has important antiviral properties.
Studies show that this particular amino
acid is especially beneficial for safeguarding against herpes virus. Lysine has
been shown to decrease occurrences of anxiety1 and it assists with the
formation of collagen and muscle tissue.
It is also involved in protein
biosynthesis, especially in building collagen together with the amino acids
Glycine and Proline. An L-lysine deficiency may therefore result in broken
skin, fragile nails and in extreme cases loss of hair.
There is also evidence that L-lysine
increases the effectiveness of L-arginine in promoting human growth hormone
(HGH) release. Suminski and colleagues found that HGH was increased when
weightlifters ingested Arginine and Lysine without exercise2.
