L-alanyl-L-glutamine crystal
View Patent ↗The present invention provides: (1) crystals of a dipeptide which do not substantially comprise a dipeptide comprising D-amino acid as a constituent or a polypeptide consisting of three or more amino acids; and (2) crystals of a dipeptide which do not substantially comprise a dipeptide comprising D-amino acid as a constituent, a polypeptide consisting of three or more amino acids, or an amino acid amide; and a process for producing the dipeptide crystals.
1. A crystal of L-alanyl-L-glutamine that is at least 99.91% pure as determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), wherein the total weight percent of D-alanyl-L-glutamine in the crystal is less than 0.002 as determined by HPLC, the total weight percent of AlaAlaGln in the crystal is less than 0.002 as determined by HPLC, and wherein the total weight percent of alanine amide in the crystal is less than 0.002 as determined by HPLC.
