| Targets |
The primary targets of D-Allothreonine include enzymes involved in amino acid metabolism, such as threonine dehydratase and threonine aldolase. As a stereoisomer of threonine, it may act as a substrate or inhibitor for these enzymes, depending on the enzyme's stereospecificity. The compound may also interact with bacterial enzymes involved in cell wall synthesis, as threonine and its analogs can be incorporated into peptidoglycan precursors. These targets make it relevant for research in enzymology, microbiology, and stereochemistry.
