  2. Protein primary structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_primary_structure

    Either a three letter code or single letter code can be used to represent the 22 naturally encoded amino acids, as well as mixtures or ambiguous amino acids (similar to nucleic acid notation). [1] [2] [3] Peptides can be directly sequenced, or inferred from DNA sequences. Large sequence databases now exist that collate known protein sequences.

  3. Amino acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amino_acid

    Amino acid 3- and 1-letter symbols Side chain Hydropathy index [50] Molar absorptivity [51] Molecular mass Abundance in proteins (%) [52] Standard genetic coding, IUPAC notation; 3 1 Class Chemical polarity [53] Net charge at pH 7.4 [53] Wavelength, λ max (nm) Coefficient ε (mM −1 ·cm −1) Alanine: Ala A Aliphatic Nonpolar Neutral 1.8 89. ...

  4. FASTA format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FASTA_format

    In bioinformatics and biochemistry, the FASTA format is a text-based format for representing either nucleotide sequences or amino acid (protein) sequences, in which nucleotides or amino acids are represented using single-letter codes. The format allows for sequence names and comments to precede the sequences.

    non-canonical amino acid (ncAA) Also non-standard amino acid. Any amino acid, natural or artificial, that is not one of the 20 or 21 proteinogenic amino acids encoded by the standard genetic code. There are hundreds of such amino acids, many of which have biological functions and are specified by alternative codes or incorporated into proteins ...

    Phenylalanine ball and stick model spinning. Phenylalanine (symbol Phe or F) [3] is an essential α-amino acid with the formula C 9 H 11 NO 2.It can be viewed as a benzyl group substituted for the methyl group of alanine, or a phenyl group in place of a terminal hydrogen of alanine.

  7. Solute carrier family - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solute_carrier_family

    The SLC gene nomenclature system was originally proposed by the HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee and is the basis for the official HGNC names of the genes that encode these transporters. A more general transmembrane transporter classification can be found in TCDB database .

  8. Histidine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histidine

    Histidine ball and stick model spinning. Histidine (symbol His or H) [2] is an essential amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis of proteins.It contains an α-amino group (which is in the protonated –NH 3 + form under biological conditions), a carboxylic acid group (which is in the deprotonated –COO − form under biological conditions), and an imidazole side chain (which is partially ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proline

    Proline ball and stick model spinning. Proline (symbol Pro or P) [4] is an organic acid classed as a proteinogenic amino acid (used in the biosynthesis of proteins), although it does not contain the amino group-NH
