General description

Leucylalanine (Leu-Ala) is useful to produce non-electrolytic triorganotin (IV) derivatives (R3Sn(HL)) to study the models of metal-protein interactions.

Application

Leu-Ala hydrate has been used as a substrate in Tris-hydrochloride (HCl) buffer to analyze the leucine-alanine peptidase (LAP) activity in larvae.
Leucylalanine (Leu-Ala) is use to make non-electrolytic triorganotin(IV) derivatives (general formulae R3Sn(HL)) to study models of metal-protein interactions.
