Description

Alanine (abbreviated as Ala or A; encoded by the codons GCU, GCC, GCA, and GCG) is an α-amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis of proteins. It contains an α-amino group (which is in the protonated −NH3+ form under biological conditions), an α-carboxylic acid group (which is in the deprotonated −COO− form under biological conditions), and a side chain methyl group, classifying it as a nonpolar (at physiological pH), aliphatic amino acid. It is non-essential in humans, meaning the body can synthesize it.
The L-isomer (left-handed) of alanine is one of the 20 amino acids encoded by the human genetic code. L-Alanine is second only to leucine in rate of occurrence, accounting for 7.8% of the primary structure in a sample of 1,150 proteins. The right-handed form, D-Alanine occurs in bacterial cell walls and in some peptide antibiotics.

  • Toxicity to daphnia and other aquatic invertebrates: no data available
  • Toxicity to algae: no data available
  • Toxicity to microorganisms: no data available

12.2 Persistence and degradability

AEROBIC: An initial alanine concentration of 333 mg/L in an activated sludge inoculum (71.4 mL/L) was reduced by 96% after 23 days as measured by BOD(1). L-Alanine, at an initial concentration of 100 mg/L, reached 40-53% of its theoretical oxygen demand after 3.3-3.75 days in an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L(2). L-Alanine, at an initial concentration of 500 mg/L, reached 96.2-96.6% of its theoretical oxygen demand after 5 days in an activated sludge inoculum at 1,296-1,316 mg/L(3). Alanine at 500 mg/L reached 40% of its theoretical oxidation after 12 hours of aeration in acclimated activated sludge(4). alpha-DL-Alanine, at an initial concentration of 500 mg/L, reached 43% of its theoretical oxygen demand after 24 hours in an activated sludge inoculum at 2,500 mg/L(5). alpha-DL-Alanine at 2-10 mg/L reached approximately 39% of its theoretical oxygen demand after 5 days in tests using a sea water dilution method and a standard dilution method(6). A proposed pathway for the metabolic degradation of alanine in activated sludge is through hydrolysis to lactic acid followed by oxidation through pyruvic acid to formic acid and acetic acid followed by complete oxidation(7).

12.3 Bioaccumulative potential

An estimated BCF of 0.004 in fish was calculated for L-alanine(SRC), using an estimated log Kow of -2.85(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).

12.4 Mobility in soil

Koc values of 35.7 and 31.7-65 have been measured for alanine in surface sediment(1). According to a classification scheme(2), these Koc values suggest that L-alanine is expected to have very high to high mobility in soil. Measured pKa values of 2.34 (carboxylic acid) and 9.69 (primary amine)(3), indicate that this compound will exist as a zwitterion in the environment.

12.5 Other adverse effects

no data available

13.Disposal considerations

13.1 Disposal methods

Product

The material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.
