Description

N-acetyl-D-leucine is a D-amino acid that is deacylated in bacteria by d-aminoacylase enzymes. D-amino acids inhibit bacterial biofilm formation when they are incorporated into the cell wall. Compounds such as N-acetyl-D-leucine induce release of amyloid fibers that link cells together in the biofilm. N-Acetyl-leucine metabolite is found to be a biomarker that can predict diabetes development in a mouse model.
