Application
DL-2,6-Diaminopimelic acid, a stereoisomer of meso-DAP, may be used as a reference material in assays used to identify markers of bacteria and fungi in the rumen of ruminants.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Stereoisomer of meso-DAP. meso-DAP is a biosynthetic precursor of the essential amino acid L-lysine and component of peptidoglycan in the cell wall of many bacteria. As these functions are not observed in mammalian biochemistry, alpha,alpha′-diamino diacids (DADs) are of interest as potential antibiotics with low mammalian toxicity.

In this chapter, we describe synthetic studies on partial structures of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and peptidoglycan (PGN), which work as tags for nonself recognition in innate immune system. Our previous studies demonstrated that lipid A is the endotoxic principle of LPS.

Poly(L-diaminopropionic acid) (PDAP) is one of the four homopoly(amino acid)s that have been discovered in nature. However, the molecular mechanism of PDAP biosynthesis has yet to be described. In this work, the general layout of the PDAP biosynthetic pathway is
Diaminopimelate and lysine.
