Description:The chemical substance known as dl-leu-dl-phe, with the CAS number 56217-82-4, is a dipeptide composed of two amino acids: leucine (Leu) and phenylalanine (Phe). It is classified as a racemic mixture, meaning it contains equal parts of the two enantiomers of each amino acid. This compound is typically white to off-white in appearance and is soluble in water, which is characteristic of many amino acids and their derivatives. Dipeptides like dl-leu-dl-phe are often studied for their potential biological activities, including their roles in protein synthesis and metabolism. They may also exhibit various physiological effects, such as influencing muscle protein synthesis or acting as precursors for neurotransmitters. In terms of stability, it is generally stable under standard conditions but may be sensitive to extreme pH levels or high temperatures. As with many amino acid derivatives, it is important to handle this compound with care in laboratory settings, following appropriate safety protocols.
