Alanyl dipeptides such as ala-leu, ala-lys, ala-gly, ala-pro, ala-tyr and ala-phe may be used in physicochemical studies or to evaluate dipeptide separation technologies. Alanyl dipeptides may also be used for studying cell uptake mechanisms, dipeptide metabolism or cell growth supplementation benefits.
The separation of stereoisomers, particularly enantiomers, is important when their physiological activity differs. We have resolved the four stereoisomers each of alanylphenylalanine (Ala-Phe) and of leucylphenylalanine (Leu-Phe) by capillary electrophoresis using beta-cyclodextrin as a buffer additive and urea to enhance
A spectrophotometric assay to determine peptide transport has been developed. Using two chromogenic peptide mimetics, L-phenylalanyl-L-2-sulfanilylglycine (PSG) and L-phenylalanyl-L-3-thiaphenylalanine (PSP), the peptide transport patterns in individual cell species can be evaluated effectively. After the addition of PSG to a HeLa
A ligand-exchange capillary electrophoresis was explored, with L-ornithine as the ligand and copper(II) as the central ion. Its applicability was demonstrated with underivatized and dansyl amino acids, a dipeptide, and drugs with amino alcohol structure. The enantioselectivity was found to

A replicate heart-cut column-switching HPLC method combined with two switching valves was newly developed for the simultaneous determination of three antihypertensive peptides (Ala-Phe, Tyr-Pro, and Trp-Tyr) in tryptic casein hydrolysate in one run-in assay. After a first separation on an

DFT methods were employed to compute the (13)C NMR chemical shift tensor (CST) parameters for crystals of YAF peptides (Tyr-Ala-Phe) with different stereochemistry for the Ala residue. Tyr-D-Ala-Phe 1 crystallizes in the C2 space group while Tyr-L-Ala-Phe crystallizes in either
