Dipeptide

A dipeptide is a small molecule made when two amino acids join together through a single peptide bond. It is one of the simplest forms of peptide and serves as an important building block in chemistry, biology, and nutrition. Dipeptides can form naturally during the digestion of proteins and are also used in food, pharmaceutical, and research applications. Some dipeptides occur naturally in the body and may play roles in muscle function, metabolism, and cell signaling. Because they are small and stable, dipeptides are often studied for their potential benefits in health and medicine.
