DL-Methionine

DL-α-Methionine; Methionine; L-Methionine; (±)-Methionine

CAS 59-51-8

Chemical Formula C5H11NO2S

Molecular Weight 149.21 g/mol

DL-Methionine is a synthetic form of the amino acid methionine, consisting of both the L- and D- forms. Like L-methionine, it is involved in protein synthesis and serves as a precursor for important compounds such as cysteine and S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe). The D-form, while not typically used in protein synthesis, may have certain biochemical roles. DL-Methionine is often used in dietary supplements and animal feed to ensure adequate methionine levels, particularly in situations where dietary sources may be insufficient.
