title: An unprecedented trans-oriented product from the cleavage of a dipeptide.
abstract: An unusual trans cleavage reaction was observed when trans-[Co(3,2,3-tet)Cl2]Cl (3,2,3-tet = N,N'-bis(3-aminopropyl)ethylenediamine), was allowed to react with beta-alanyl-L-histidine (a bioactive dipeptide) in an aqueous medium at pH approximately 7.5 and 45 degrees C for 6 h.
