Valine ball and stick model spinning. Valine (symbol Val or V) [4] 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 side chain isopropyl group, making it a non-polar ...
α-Ketoisovaleric acid is an organic compound with the formula (CH 3) 2 CHC(O)CO 2 H. It is a ketoacid. With a melting point just above room temperature, it is usually an oil or semi-solid. The compound is colorless. It is a metabolite of valine and a precursor to pantothenic acid, a prosthetic group found in

Valinomycin is a dodecadepsipeptide, that is, it is made of twelve alternating amino acids and esters to form a macrocyclic molecule. The twelve carbonyl groups are essential for the binding of metal ions, and also for solvation in polar solvents.
This can lead to changes in protein structure or function, which can cause potentially lead to changes in phenotype, sometimes pathogenic. A well known example in humans is sickle cell anemia, due to a mutation in beta globin where at position 6 glutamic acid (negatively charged) is exchanged with valine (not charged).
The BCKAD complex consists of four subunits designated E 1 α, E 1 β, E 2, and E 3. The E 3 subunit is also a component of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex and oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex. [15] MSUD can result from mutations in any of the genes that code for these enzyme subunits, E 1 α, E 1 β, E 2, and E 3. [3]
Examples include prolinol (from proline), valinol (from valine), tyrosinol (from tyrosine). Key members: ethanolamine , dimethylethanolamine , N -methylethanolamine , Aminomethyl propanol . Two popular drugs, often called alkanolamine beta blockers , are members of this structural class: propranolol , pindolol .
Asn-Gly (NG),is the most flexible and since it is acidic, it is most prone to deamidation with a half-life around 24 h under physiological conditions (pH 7.4, 37 °C). [ 3 ] As a free amino acid, or as the N-terminal residue of a peptide or protein, glutamine deamidates readily to form pyroglutamic acid (5-oxoproline).
