A dipeptide is an organic compound derived from two amino acids. The constituent amino acids can be the same or different. The constituent amino acids can be the same or different. When different, two isomers of the dipeptide are possible, depending on the sequence.
A mnemonic is a memory aid used to improve long-term memory and make the process of consolidation easier. Many chemistry aspects, rules, names of compounds, sequences of elements, their reactivity, etc., can be easily and efficiently memorized with the help of mnemonics.
A dipeptide has two amino acids. A tripeptide has three amino acids. A tetrapeptide has four amino acids. A pentapeptide has five amino acids. (e.g., enkephalin). A hexapeptide has six amino acids. (e.g., angiotensin IV). A heptapeptide has seven amino acids. (e.g., spinorphin). An octapeptide has eight amino acids (e.g., angiotensin II).
Peptide bond formation via dehydration reaction. When two amino acids form a dipeptide through a peptide bond, [1] it is a type of condensation reaction. [2] In this kind of condensation, two amino acids approach each other, with the non-side chain (C1) carboxylic acid moiety of one coming near the non-side chain (N2) amino moiety of the other.
Dipeptidases hydrolyze bound pairs of amino acids, called dipeptides. Dipeptidases are secreted onto the brush border of the villi in the small intestine, where they cleave dipeptides into their two component amino acids prior to absorption. They are also found within the enterocytes themselves, performing cytosolic digestion of absorbed ...

Dipeptidase 2 (DPEP2) is a protein which in humans is encoded by the DPEP2 gene. [4]DPEP2 belongs to the membrane-bound dipeptidase (EC 3.4.13.19) family. These enzymes hydrolyze a variety of dipeptides, including leukotriene D 4, the beta-lactam ring of some antibiotics, and cystinyl-bis-glycine (cys-bis-gly) formed during glutathione degradation.
