Abstract
The oxidation reactions of dipeptide glycylglycine (GG) have been carried out with N-bromosuccinimide in presence of mercuric acetate. The kinetics revealed first order dependence on N-bromosuccinimide and fractional order dependence on glycylglycine. Michaelis-Menten type mechanism was proposed. Thermodynamic parameters have been evaluated. The oxidation reactions were compared to that of the monomer glycine.
