L-Proline (proline for short) is one of the twenty amino acids that the human body synthesizes protein. It is a colorless to white crystal or crystalline powder at room temperature. It has a slight odor and a slightly sweet taste. It is easily soluble in water and ethanol. It is insoluble in ether, butanol, but soluble in inorganic acid. Amino acid is a general term for a class of organic compounds containing amino and carboxyl groups. The presence of amino acids in the human body not only provides important raw materials for the synthesis of proteins, but also provides a material basis for promoting growth, normal metabolism, and maintenance of life.
L-Proline is a non-essential amino acid. Peptides bond to proline, making it a useful building block for proteins. It can be used as a cell culture media component for the commercial biomanufacturing of therapeutic recombinant proteins and monoclonal antibodies.
