dipeptide

A dipeptide is a chemical compound consisting of two amino acids joined by a single peptide bond. In the case of aspartame, these amino acids are L-aspartic acid and L-phenylalanine. Dipeptides are the simplest form of peptides and serve as fundamental building blocks in protein chemistry, allowing for high specificity in biological receptor interactions.
