  2. Amino acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amino_acid

    Structure of a typical L-alpha-amino acid in the "neutral" form. Amino acids are organic compounds that contain both amino and carboxylic acid functional groups. [1] Although over 500 amino acids exist in nature, by far the most important are the 22 α-amino acids incorporated into proteins. [2] Only these 22 appear in the genetic code of life ...

  3. Stable isotope composition of amino acids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stable_isotope_composition...

    There is great variation in the carbon isotope composition of amino acids within a single organism. In cyanobacteria, Macko et al. [5] observed a ~30‰ range in δ 13 C values amongst the amino acids. Amino acids produced from the same precursors also had widely varying compositions.

  4. Hydrophobicity scales - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrophobicity_scales

    The most popular hydrophobicity scale was developed by measuring surface tension values for the naturally occurring 20 amino acids in NaCl solution. [30] The main drawbacks of surface tension measurements is that the broken hydrogen bonds and the neutralized charged groups remain at the solution air interface.

  5. Leucine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leucine

    Leucine ball and stick model spinning. Leucine (symbol Leu or L) [3] is an essential amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis of proteins.Leucine is an α-amino acid, meaning 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 side ...

  6. Lysine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysine

    Lysine ball and stick model spinning. Lysine (symbol Lys or K) [2] is an α-amino acid that is a precursor to many proteins.Lysine contains an α-amino group (which is in the protonated −NH + 3 form when the lysine is dissolved in water at physiological pH), an α-carboxylic acid group (which is in the deprotonated −COO − form when the lysine is dissolved in water at physiological pH ...

  7. Glycine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycine

    Glycine (symbol Gly or G; [6] / ˈ ɡ l aɪ s iː n / ⓘ) [7] is an amino acid that has a single hydrogen atom as its side chain. It is the simplest stable amino acid. Glycine is one of the proteinogenic amino acids. It is encoded by all the codons starting with GG (GGU, GGC, GGA, GGG). [8]

  8. Guanidine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guanidine

    The conjugate acid is called the guanidinium cation, (C(NH 2) + 3). This planar, symmetric ion consists of three amino groups each bonded to the central carbon atom with a covalent bond of order 4/3. It is a highly stable +1 cation in aqueous solution due to the efficient resonance stabilization of the charge and efficient solvation by water
