D-leu-gly, or D-leucylglycine, is a dipeptide composed of the amino acids D-leucine and glycine. It is characterized by its specific sequence, where D-leucine, an isomer of leucine, contributes to the peptide's unique properties. This compound is typically white to off-white in appearance and is soluble in water, making it suitable for various biochemical applications. D-leu-gly exhibits characteristics common to peptides, such as the ability to participate in hydrogen bonding and form secondary structures, although its small size limits extensive structural complexity. It may also play a role in biological processes, including protein synthesis and cellular signaling. The CAS number 997-05-7 uniquely identifies this compound in chemical databases, facilitating its study and application in research and industry. As with many peptides, its stability and reactivity can be influenced by factors such as pH and temperature, which are important considerations in experimental settings.

Glycyl-L-leucine is a bacterial amino acid that is found in the intestine. It has been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria by inhibiting transport through membranes and protein synthesis. Glycyl-L-leucine has also been shown to be active against nikkomycin, an antibiotic used for the treatment of Gram-positive bacteria. This compound is incorporated into proteins with α-amino acids at the N terminus and β-amino acids at the C terminus, which are essential for peptidase activity. Glycyl-L-leucine can also be found in stereoisomers, which differ only in the orientation of their atoms around a double bond.
