H-Leu-Glu-OH(Cat No.:M081751), or leucyl-glutamic acid, is a dipeptide composed of the amino acids leucine and glutamic acid linked by a peptide bond. This simple peptide showcases important properties due to the hydrophobic nature of leucine combined with the hydrophilic, negatively charged side chain of glutamic acid. Such dipeptides are often studied for their role in protein synthesis, nutrient absorption, and cellular signaling. Additionally, they serve as building blocks in the pharmaceutical industry for drug development, particularly in enhancing drug delivery systems and improving the solubility of active pharmaceutical ingredients.
