Metabolite Identification
Common NameMethionyl-Alanine
DescriptionMethionyl-alanine, also known as m-a dipeptide or met-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. Methionyl-alanine is possibly soluble (in water) and a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa).
