Alanine is a hydrophobic molecule. It is ambivalent, meaning that it can be inside or outside of the protein molecule. The Î± carbon of alanine is optically active; in proteins, only the L-isomer is found.Note that alanine is the Î±-amino acid analog of the Î±-keto acid pyruvate, an intermediate in sugar metabolism.lanine is a hydrophobic molecule.
