Recent Advances in the Synthesis of Amino Acids: Methodologies and Industrial Applications

Abstract

Amino acids are fundamental building blocks of proteins and play essential roles in various biological processes. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in the synthesis of amino acids, driven by the growing demand for these molecules in pharmaceuticals, food additives, and other industrial applications. recent advances in the synthesis of amino acids, focusing on innovative methodologies and their industrial applications. Recent developments in amino acid synthesis have enabled the efficient production of both proteinogenic and non-proteinogenic amino acids with improved yields, selectivity, and sustainability. Novel synthetic strategies, including enzymatic catalysis, chemoenzymatic approaches, asymmetric synthesis, and green chemistry methodologies, have emerged as powerful tools for accessing diverse amino acid derivatives with high purity and stereoselectivity.
