Methionyl-glycine is a dipeptide consisting of the amino acids methionine and glycine.[3] It is often studied for its potential role in biochemical processes and protein synthesis. This compound may have implications in nutritional supplements and therapeutic treatments due to the essential nature of methionine.[citation needed]
