D-tryptophan is the D-enantiomer of tryptophan. It has a role as a bacterial metabolite. It is a tryptophan and a D-alpha-amino acid. It is a conjugate base of a D-tryptophanium. It is a conjugate acid of a D-tryptophanate. It is an enantiomer of a L-tryptophan. It is a tautomer of a D-tryptophan zwitterion
D(+)-tryptophan is an odorless white solid
1% solution in water has a pH of 5.5 to 7
Tryptophan is the least plentiful of all 22 amino acids and an essential amino acid in humans (provided by food), Tryptophan is found in most proteins and a precursor of serotonin.
Tryptophan is converted to 5-hydroxy-tryptophan (5-HTP), converted in turn to serotonin, a neurotransmitter essential in regulating appetite, sleep, mood, and pain.
Tryptophan is a natural sedative and present in dairy products, meats, brown rice, fish, and soybeans
