The functions and applications of L-alpha-dipeptides (dipeptides) have been poorly studied compared with proteins or amino acids. Only a few dipeptides, such as aspartame (L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester) and L-alanyl-L-glutamine (Ala-Gln),...

PMID: 18445480
Despite its utility, dipeptides have not been widely used due to the absence of an efficient manufacturing method. Recently, a novel method for effective production of dipeptides using l-amino acid...
