L,L-Dityrosine is an important component of the yeast spore wall, and the content is relatively high, which may be related to the structural stability and stress resistance of the spore wall[1,2]. L,L-Dityrosine has unique fluorescence properties, and the fluorescence lifetime and quantum yield show significant differences in different solvents[3]. L,L-Dityrosine has been used in molecular dynamics simulation studies and fluorescence analysis[4].
