H-Tyr-Lys-OH

H-Tyr-Lys-OH is a dipeptide that can serve as a biomarker for AJH-1. H-Tyr-Lys-OH has a good binding affinity with angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE)^[1]. Dipeptides are commonly used to study enzyme mechanisms, protein synthesis and degradation processes, and signaling pathways^[2]. H-Tyr-Lys-OH consists of two amino acid residues, tyrosine (Tyr) and lysine (Lys). Tyrosine contains a phenol group, which makes it important in protein interactions and enzyme catalysis^[3]. The side chain of lysine contains an amino group that can form hydrogen bonds with other molecules, participating in various biochemical reactions^[4].
