This creates an extraordinarily high binding affinity with pK = 16.44, approximately 10 million times higher than other tripeptides and comparable to albumins copper binding (pK = 16.2)
Overall, while LC derivatives, notably ALC, show promise in lowering TMAO production and modifying gut microbiota composition, additional studies are needed to completely understand their effects
