Metabolite Identification
Common NameD-Alanyl-D-alanine
DescriptionD-Alanyl-D-alanine, also known as D-ala-D-ala or ala-ala, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as dipeptides. These are organic compounds containing a sequence of exactly two alpha-amino acids joined by a peptide bond. D-Alanyl-D-alanine is possibly soluble (in water) and a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). D-Alanyl-D-alanine exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans.
