Dipeptide (DP) is actually one molecule, which consists of 2 amino acids that are joined by a single peptide bond. Since it consists of 2 different amino acids, it can have different sequences, like Ala-Gly or Gly-Ala. Such dipeptides would have different chemical and biological properties. The matter is that if written left to right in Gly-Ala, the glycine has the 'free' amine terminal end, while alanine has the 'free' carboxyl acid terminal end. Dipeptide can be produced in different ways, which are generally divided into 3 methods: chemical synthesis, chemoenzymatic synthesis, and enzymatic synthesis. Meanwhile, the function of di-peptides can be viewed from two points: as a derivative of amino acid and as the dipeptide itself. The first one is quite easy to understand, since although DPs and the constitutive amino acids feature different physicochemical properties, they should still share the same physiological effects, because dipeptides are degraded into the individual amino acids in organisms. For instance, L-Glutamine is heat labile, but L-alanyl-L-glutamine is more tolerant to heat. Another good example is solubility: while Tyr is practically insoluble, you can dissolve Ala-Tyr up to 14 g/L. The most interesting fact is that a number of dipeptides are more soluble than each of the constitutive amino acids. For example, the solubilities of Ala and Gln are 89 and 36 g/L accordingly, but that of Ala-Gln is 586 g/L! Considering these properties and the fact that Ala-Gln and Gly-Tyr are quickly degraded into the individual amino acids when taken into the body, these dipeptides are used as components of patient infusions.
