Product Information

• Name: H-Ala-Phe-Ala-OH
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: H-Ala-Phe-Ala-OH is a peptidomimetic that has been shown to have hydrogen bonding interactions with caco-2 cells. It also has the ability to form micelles and x-ray diffraction data show that the molecule has a right handed helical conformation. This compound was synthesized by reacting H-Ala-Phe with H-Gly-Gly in an amino acid condensation reaction, followed by hydrolysis of the amide bonds. The bioisosteres for this compound are tripeptides, which are amino acids linked by peptide bonds. The interaction of this compound with caco-2 cells is thought to be due to the hydrogen bonding interactions between this molecule and the hydroxyl groups on the cell surface.
