Valylleucine
Valylleucine (Val-Leu; H-Val-Leu-OH) is a branched-chain dipeptide that can enter cells independently via bacterial dipeptide transport systems, and is hydrolyzed by dipeptidases to release Val and Leu. Valylleucine, as a model peptide, has its α-amino pK determined to be 7.90 by combining FDNB reaction kinetics with potentiometric titration.

Biological Activity
Valylleucine (0.43 mM; up to 6 hours) relieves O-methylthreonine-induced growth inhibition in Escherichia coli 15 after a lag period of approximately 2 hours, matching the effectiveness of free valine and leucine thereafter[2].
