title: Pressure-induced oligomerization of alanine at 25 °C.
abstract: Pressure-induced oligomerization was found from high-pressure experiments at 25 °C on alanine powder soaked in its saturated aqueous solution. The oligomerization to alanylalanine occurred at 5 GPa. The maximum yields of alanylalanine and trialanine were, respectively, 1.1 × 10(-3) and 1.3 × 10(-4) at 11 GPa.
