General description
L-Lysine is an amino acid with a basic side chain and is amphipathic in nature. It has a protonated alkyl amino group and is fully protonated at physiological pH. L-lysine mainly participates in electrostatic interactions in proteins.
Application
L-Lysine monohydrate has been used in:
- SILAC (stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture) method
- the complete synthetic (C) medium for positive selection screening of yeast cells
- the growth medium for cells
Biochem/physiol Actions
L-Lysine is an essential proteinogenic α amino acid used in a wide range of applications including as a non-animal sourced supplement in cell culture media, a substrate of enzymes such as L-lysine oxidase (EC 1.4.3.14), a component of poly-lysine polymers, and a substrate for oxidation and glycation mechanism studies.

L-α-Aminoadipic acid reductases catalyze the ATP- and NADPH-dependent reduction of L-α-aminoadipic acid to the corresponding 6-semialdehyde during fungal L-lysine biosynthesis. These reductases resemble peptide synthetases with regard to their multidomain composition but feature a unique domain of elusive function--now referred

Stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture (SILAC) is a simple, robust, yet powerful approach in mass spectrometry (MS)-based quantitative proteomics. SILAC labels cellular proteomes through normal metabolic processes, incorporating non-radioactive, stable isotope-containing amino acids in newly synthesized
