Abstract
Although the functions and applications of dipeptides have been poorly studied, compared to proteins or amino acids, their unique properties have long been appreciated. A major obstacle to the industrial production of dipeptides has always been their relatively complicated chemical synthesis. However, novel methods for the economical production of specific dipeptides through biotechnological processes have been developed recently.
