| Description | Glycylglycine (Diglycine) is a dipeptide used in biochemical research. It is the simplest of all dipeptides and is used as a starting template for preparation of more complex peptides. Glycine is involved in the body's production of DNA, phospholipids, and collagen, and in the release of energy. |
