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 aliphatic amino acid.
KcsA was the first potassium ion channel to be characterized using x-ray crystallography by Roderick MacKinnon and his colleagues in 1998. In the years leading up to this, research on the structure of K + channels was centered on the use of small toxin binding to reveal the location of the pore and selectivity filter among channel residues.
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]
Potassium channel Kv1.2, structure in a membrane-like environment. Calculated hydrocarbon boundaries of the lipid bilayer are indicated by red and blue lines.. Potassium channels are the most widely distributed type of ion channel found in virtually all organisms. [1]
This diagram shows the biosynthesis (anabolism) of amino acids glutamate, glutamine, proline, and arginine from the precursor alpha-ketoglutarate. The regulation of proline biosynthesis can depend on the initial controlling step through negative feedback inhibition. [ 4 ]
