Description

Z-Gly-Ala-OH is an amide that is synthesized by the solid-phase synthesis of a protected amino acid. The amino acid sequence was determined by sequencing the product and comparing it to the amino acid composition of known glycyl-amides. The enzyme active site was found to be located on the side chain of Gly, which is a polar residue. This catalytic site is only occupied in one orientation, with Ala occupying the opposite side chain position. The yields for this reaction are very high and are not affected by changes in temperature or pH. Z-Gly-Ala-OH has a chiral center at position 3 and can exist as two enantiomers, Z-(+)-glycylalanine and its mirror image, Z-(−)-glycylalanine.
