4-Amino-D,L-benzylsuccinic Acid

4-Amino-D,L-benzylsuccinic Acid is a potent competitive inhibitor of carboxypeptidase. Due to its chemical stability, resistance to proteolytic degradation and ideal binding characteristics, it is a useful ligand for affinity chromatography separation and isolation of the proteolytic enzymes carboxypeptidases A and B.
