Additional Infomation

2,6-diaminopimelic acid is the amino dicarboxylic acid that is heptanedioic acid with amino substituents at C-2 and C-6. It has a role as an Escherichia coli metabolite. It is an amino dicarboxylic acid and a dicarboxylic fatty acid. It is functionally related to a pimelic acid. It is a conjugate acid of a 2,6-diaminopimelate(2-). Diaminopimelic acid is a metabolite found in or produced by Escherichia coli (strain K12, MG1655). Diaminopimelate has been reported in Glycine max, Salmonella enterica, and Phaseolus vulgaris with data available. A diamino derivative of heptanedioic acid with amino groups at C-2 and C-6 and the general formula (COOH)CH(NH2)CH2CH2CH2CH(NH2)(COOH).

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
