Identification
Common NameD-Proline
ClassSmall Molecule
Description
D-proline is an isomer of the naturally occurring amino acid, L-Proline. D-amino acids have been found in relatively high abundance in human plasma and saliva These amino acids may be of bacterial origin, but there is also evidence that they are endogenously produced through amino acid racemase activity. (1, 2).

Chemical Taxonomy
Description Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as proline and derivatives. Proline and derivatives are compounds containing proline or a derivative thereof resulting from reaction of proline at the amino group or the carboxy group, or from the replacement of any hydrogen of glycine by a heteroatom.
