H-Leu-Gly-OH(Cat No.:I043036)is a dipeptide composed of leucine (Leu) and glycine (Gly) linked by a peptide bond, with a free carboxyl group (-OH) at the C-terminus. This compound is commonly used in peptide synthesis and biochemical research to study protein interactions, enzymatic activity, and peptide bonding. The leucine residue provides hydrophobic properties, while glycine adds flexibility to the peptide structure. H-Leu-Gly-OH can be employed in drug development, particularly in studies related to metabolic disorders, neurological diseases, and cancer, where small peptides may play a role in therapeutic interventions.
