LphenylalanineLaspartic
L-phenylalanine-L-aspartic acid, also known as L-phenylalanyl-L-aspartic acid or Phe-Asp, is a dipeptide formed by the two standard amino acids L-phenylalanine and L-aspartic acid linked through a peptide bond between the carboxyl group of L-phenylalanine and the amino group of L-aspartic acid. In this dipeptide, the N-terminus is typically the phenylalanine residue and the C-terminus the aspartic acid residue. Its approximate chemical formula is C13H16N2O5, and its molecular weight is around 280 g/mol.
Synthesis of this dipeptide is commonly achieved by standard peptide coupling methods, such as using coupling
