Hazard Information

Uses

Prolylvaline (Pro-Val) is a proline-valine dipeptide that can be used to bind fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC). Prolylvaline has specific imprinting effects in Tetrahymena, inducing negative imprinting. Using protozoan organisms, proline dipeptides containing different partner amino acids can be distinguished from dipeptides with opposite amino acid positions[1].

Definition

ChEBI: A dipeptide formed from L-proline and L-valine residues.
