2. Isoleucine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isoleucine

   Isoleucine (symbol Ile or I) [1] is an α-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), an α-carboxylic acid group (which is in the deprotonated −COO − form under biological conditions), and a hydrocarbon side chain with a branch (a central carbon atom bound to three other ...

3. Essential amino acid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essential_amino_acid

   Essential amino acid. An essential amino acid, or indispensable amino acid, is an amino acid that cannot be synthesized from scratch by the organism fast enough to supply its demand, and must therefore come from the diet. Of the 21 amino acids common to all life forms, the nine amino acids humans cannot synthesize are valine, isoleucine ...

4. Branched-chain amino acid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branched-chain_amino_acid

   A branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) is an amino acid having an aliphatic side-chain with a branch (a central carbon atom bound to three or more carbon atoms). Among the proteinogenic amino acids, there are three BCAAs: leucine, isoleucine, and valine. [1] Non-proteinogenic BCAAs include 2-aminoisobutyric acid and alloisoleucine.

5. Hypervalinemia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypervalinemia

   Hypervalinemia. loss of appetite, vomiting, hypotonia, dehydration and failure to thrive. Hypervalinemia is a rare autosomal recessive metabolic disorder in which urinary and serum levels of the branched-chain amino acid valine are elevated, without related elevation of the branched-chain amino acids leucine and isoleucine. [2][3] It is caused ...

6. DNA and RNA codon tables - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_and_RNA_codon_tables

   DNA and RNA codon tables. A codon table can be used to translate a genetic code into a sequence of amino acids. [1][2] The standard genetic code is traditionally represented as an RNA codon table, because when proteins are made in a cell by ribosomes, it is messenger RNA (mRNA) that directs protein synthesis. [2][3] The mRNA sequence is ...

7. Alloisoleucine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alloisoleucine

   Alloisoleucine is an amino acid with the formula CH3CH2CH (CH3)CH (NH2)CO2H. It exists as two enantiomers, of which the L derivative occurs naturally. L-Alloisoleucine occurs in healthy serum in only trace amounts, except for individuals suffering from maple syrup urine disease. [1]

8. Methionine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methionine

   Methionine (symbol Met or M) [3] (/ m ɪ ˈ θ aɪ ə n iː n /) [4] is an essential amino acid in humans.. As the precursor of other non-essential amino acids such as cysteine and taurine, versatile compounds such as SAM-e, and the important antioxidant glutathione, methionine plays a critical role in the metabolism and health of many species, including humans.
