D-Lysine is used as a component of a wide array of polymers (poly-D-lysine), surfactants and biofilms to confer a positive (cationic) charge.
D-Lysine is the unnatural isomer of L-Lysine (L468895) that has the ability to reduce non-enzymatic glycation in vitro. D-Lysine also exists as polypeptide chains of poly-D-lysine, a nonspecific adhesion-promoting molecule that has the potential to be a polymeric drug carrier.
