Identification
Name:L-Alanyl-D-glutamate
DescriptionL-alanine-D-glutamate is a dipeptide. These are compounds containing an amide derived from two or more amino carboxylic acid molecules (the same or different) by formation of a covalent bond from the carbonyl carbon of one to the nitrogen atom of another. It is a dipeptide that is a component of the bacterial cell wall. It is a substrate of Alanyl-glutamate epimerase which catalyzes the epimerization of L-Ala-D-Glu to L-Ala-L- Glu and has a role in the recycling of the murein peptide, of which L-Ala-D-Glu is a component. This enzyme also able to catalyze the reverse reaction.
