What is Dipeptide?
A '''dipeptide''' is a kind of [[organic compound]] (and therefore a kind of [[molecule]]).<ref>https://www.bionity.com/en/encyclopedia/Dipeptide.html#:~:text=A%20dipeptide%20is%20a%20molecule,by%20a%20single%20peptide%20bond. Bionity.com. Retrieved 2023-02-25</ref> A dipeptide is made up of only two [[amino acid]]s: one amino acid on each side of a [[peptide bond]]. A dipeptide can be made from two different amino acids or by two amino acids of the same kind. A peptide bond will be in between the two amino acids.<!--When different, two isomers of the dipeptide are possible, depending on the sequence. Several dipeptides are physiologically important, and some are both physiologically and commercially significant. --> [[File:Glycylglycine.png|thumb|[[Skeletal formula]] of Gly-Gly. The peptide bond is between the carbon that is double bonded to the oxygen, and the nitrogen.]] [[Gly-Gly]], or [[Glycylglycine]] is a dipeptide and also the simplest [[peptide]]. It is the dipeptide of [[Glycine]].<ref>https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/anie.201702425. Wiley Online Library.
