Ala-Glu-OH (CAS 13187-90-1)
QUICK LINKS
Ala-Glu-OH is frequently used in biochemical and nutritional studies. As a dipeptide, it provides a simple model for understanding peptide bond formation and proteolytic degradation, which are fundamental processes in protein chemistry. Researchers employ Ala-Glu-OH in enzymatic assays to study the specificity and mechanism of peptidases and proteases, as well as in the investigation of peptide absorption and metabolism in the gut. Furthermore, this compound is utilized in the field of food science to examine how dipeptides contribute to the flavor profile of protein-rich foods through Maillard reactions or as flavor enhancers. In materials science, Ala-Glu-OH can be incorporated into biodegradable polymers to investigate the impact of amino acid sequences on the physical properties and degradation rates of these materials.
