  2. Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha-1_antitrypsin_deficiency

    The most common cause of severe deficiency, PiZ, is a single base-pair substitution leading to a glutamic acid to lysine mutation at position 342 (dbSNP: rs28929474), while PiS is caused by a glutamic acid to valine mutation at position 264 (dbSNP: rs17580).

  5. N-Acetylglutamate synthase deficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N-Acetylglutamate_synthase...

    Carbamoyl phosphate synthase 1, abbreviated as CPS1, is activated by its natural activator N-acetyl glutamate, which in turn is synthesized from acetyl-CoA and glutamic acid in the reaction catalyzed by N-acetyl glutamate synthase, commonly called NAGS. N-acetyl glutamate is required for the urea cycle to take place.

  6. 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.

  7. Tryptophan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tryptophan

    Tryptophan is also a precursor to the neurotransmitter serotonin, the hormone melatonin, and vitamin B 3 (niacin). [4] It is encoded by the codon UGG. Like other amino acids, tryptophan is a zwitterion at physiological pH where the amino group is protonated (– NH + 3; pK a = 9.39) and the carboxylic acid is deprotonated ( –COO −; pK a = 2 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glutaric_aciduria_type_1

    Glutaric acidemia type 1 (GA1) is an inherited disorder in which the body is unable to completely break down the amino acids lysine, hydroxylysine and tryptophan.Excessive levels of their intermediate breakdown products (glutaric acid, glutaryl-CoA, 3-hydroxyglutaric acid, glutaconic acid) can accumulate and cause damage to the brain (and also other organs [1]), but particularly the basal ...
