Used in the synthesis of collagen-like peptides due to its structural similarity to the repeating Gly-X-Y sequence found in collagen. Serves as a building block in peptide research to study triple helix formation and stability. Applied in biochemical assays to investigate enzyme activity, particularly for proline-specific peptidases. Also utilized in the development of biomaterials and tissue engineering scaffolds where controlled peptide sequences enhance biocompatibility and cell adhesion.
