Allothreonine is an amino acid with the formula CH3CH(OH)CH(NH2)CO2H. It is the diastereomer of the amino acid threonine. Like most other amino acids, allothreonine is a water-soluble colorless solid. Although not one of the proteinogenic amino acids, it has often been the subject for the synthesis of novel proteins using an expanded genetic code. [1] Racemic allothreonine can be produced in the laboratory from bromomethoxybutyric acid. [2]
Threonine has R, S stereochemistry at carbons 2 and 3 for the naturally occurring stereoisomer and S, R stereochemistry for its enantiomer. Allothreonine has S, S stereochemistry at carbons 2 and 3 in the natural stereoisomer, but R, R in the very rare enantiomer.

Katanosins are a group of potent antibiotics contain allothreonine. [3]
Peptides containing the allothreonine residue have also been isolated from natural source. [4]
