Metabolite Identification
Common NameGlycyl-L-leucine
DescriptionGlycylleucine, also known as GL or leucylglycine, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as peptides. Peptides are compounds containing an amide derived from two or more amino carboxylic acid molecules (the same or different) by formation of a covalent bond from the carbonyl carbon of one to the nitrogen atom of another. Glycylleucine exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa) molecule.
