Product Information
- L-Alanyl-L-alanine
Ala-Ala-OH is a chemical compound that is structurally similar to the natural amino acid alanine. It has been used as a model system for the study of vancomycin, an antibiotic that binds to the penicillin-binding protein (PBP) in bacterial cell walls and inhibits peptidoglycan synthesis. Ala-Ala-OH binds to the PBP with high affinity and specificity, but does not inhibit peptidoglycan synthesis or kill bacteria. In contrast, Ala-Ala-OH has shown antiviral and anti-inflammatory activities by binding to viral and inflammatory proteins. This compound also has been shown to be chemically stable and can be used as a fluorescent probe in titration calorimetry experiments, which measure heat released during the formation of a chemical reaction.
