Ala-His(Cat No.:L002874), also known as alanyl-histidine, is a dipeptide composed of the amino acids alanine and histidine linked by a peptide bond. Alanine is a small, nonpolar amino acid, while histidine contains an imidazole side chain that can participate in acid-base chemistry and metal binding. This dipeptide is of interest in biochemical and physiological studies due to its buffering capacity and potential antioxidant activity. Ala-His can serve as a model compound for studying peptide behavior, enzymatic hydrolysis, and metal coordination, especially in systems mimicking enzyme active sites or peptide-based therapeutics.
