Product Description
N-Acetyl-DL-serine is a hydrophobic amino acid (AA) synthesized in the body and available in free form conjugated to malonate, phosphate, or acetate. N-Acetyl-DL-serine has anti-bacterial effect against Bacillus cereus and Staphylococcus aureus. N-Acetyl-DL-serine has also been used to immobilize DNA fragments on solid surfaces and can be used for protein synthesis and optical detection of DNA strands.
N-Acetyl-DL-serine (CAS: 97-14-3) is an N-acetylated derivative of the amino acid serine. The molecular formula is C5H9NO4 and the molecular weight is 147.13. It is a hydrophobic amino acid synthesized in the body and can be found as a free form or as a salt with malonate, phosphate, or acetate. N-Acetyl-DL-serine is a white to off-white crystalline powder that is soluble in water. It is used in peptide synthesis to incorporate acetylated serine residues, which may affect peptide folding, stability, and function. It has antimicrobial activity against Bacillus cereus and Staphylococcus aureus.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
N-Acetyl-DL-serine does not have a specific biological target as a drug. It is an amino acid derivative used in peptide synthesis and biochemical research. The acetyl group modification of serine can affect peptide folding, stability, and function. Acetylation plays a role in regulating protein interactions and gene expression. The compound's antimicrobial activity against Bacillus cereus and Staphylococcus aureus suggests potential interaction with bacterial targets, though this is not its primary application.
ln Vitro
In vitro, N-Acetyl-DL-serine is used as a building block in peptide synthesis to introduce acetylated serine residues. It is valuable in research related to protein structure, enzyme activity, and cellular processes such as phosphorylation. The compound has demonstrated antimicrobial activity against Bacillus cereus and Staphylococcus aureus. It is used in studies of protein acetylation and its effects on protein function. However, specific pharmacological activity data are limited.
ln Vivo
N-Acetyl-DL-serine does not have significant in vivo biological activity as a pharmacological agent. It is a biochemical reagent used in research. As an acetylated amino acid, it may be metabolized to serine and acetate in the body. Its antimicrobial activity suggests potential for in vivo effects, but specific efficacy data are not available. The compound is not used as a therapeutic agent.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays are not applicable to N-Acetyl-DL-serine as it is an amino acid derivative used in peptide synthesis, not a drug targeting a specific enzyme or receptor. Its characterization involves chemical analysis methods such as HPLC, NMR, and mass spectrometry. The compound's purity (typically ≥98%) is assessed by HPLC. No specific enzyme or receptor binding studies are reported.
Cell Assay
Cell-based assays for N-Acetyl-DL-serine are limited. The compound may be used in cell culture as a component of peptide synthesis studies or to study the effects of acetylation on cellular processes. Its antimicrobial activity can be assessed in bacterial cultures. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) assays can be performed against Bacillus cereus and Staphylococcus aureus. However, specific protocols are not extensively documented.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments with N-Acetyl-DL-serine are not documented, as the compound is a research reagent and not a therapeutic agent. Its antimicrobial activity could potentially be evaluated in animal models of infection, but no such studies are reported. The compound is primarily used in biochemical research.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of N-Acetyl-DL-serine are not characterized, as it is not a therapeutic agent. The compound has a molecular formula of C5H9NO4 and a molecular weight of 147.13. It is highly soluble in water (1000 g/L at 25°C). It is a white to off-white crystalline powder. Storage: powder at -20°C for 3 years; in solvent at -80°C for 6 months.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Safety and toxicology data for N-Acetyl-DL-serine are limited. As an amino acid derivative, it is expected to have low toxicity. The compound is for research use only and is not for human therapeutic use. Standard laboratory safety precautions should be followed when handling the compound. No specific toxicity data are available.

Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
