Amino Acids And Their Abbreviations

AMINO ACIDS AND CODES

 ONE LINER STATEMENT 

Alanine –   Simplest, but usually used in most of the proteins.

Beta (β)-Alanine –   Naturally occurred

Arginine –  Often used at the active sites of enzymes.

Aspartic Acid – In the citric acid cycle,  participate intermediate

Asparagine – Amide derivative of aspartic acid.

Carnitine –   Carries fatty acids into mitochondria.

Citrulline -Works to detoxification of unwanted ammonia or eliminate it

Cysteine – Thiol containing amino acid involved in active sites and

-protein tertiary structure determination.

Cystine – Cysteine creates an oxidation product that holds proteins together.

gamma(γ)-Aminobutyric Acid – Decarboxylated the amino acid.

Glutamic Acid – On the surface of proteins it contains negatively charged.

Glutamine –  They have the ability to cross the barrier between brain tissue and the blood.

Glutathione – Small peptide chains can dump free radicals.

Glycine – Simplest amino acid

-Acts as a neurotransmitter antagonist.

Histidine – Actively participate in histamine biosynthesis.

Hydroxyproline – Exclusively helps in structural proteins like collagen.

Ornithine – In the urea cycle its critical member of the amino acids

Proline – Cyclic aliphatic amino acid

-Used in the synthesis of collagen.

-Also involved in bile acid biochemistry.

Essential amino acid

Lysine – An essential amino acid with a positive charge on the aliphatic side chain.

Methionine – Helps to initiate protein synthesis.

Amino acid alcohol

Serine –  Found in the active site of serine proteases.

Threonine – Amino acid alcohol involved in porphyrin metabolism.

Aromatic amino acid

Tryptophan –  Used the least frequently in proteins.

Phenylalanine – Most commonly found in proteins.

Tyrosine – Hydroxyphenyl amino acid

-used to build neurotransmitters and hormones.

Hydrophobic amino acid

Isoleucine – exclusively in used protein construction

-enzyme construction.

Leucine – exclusively in used protein construction

-enzyme construction.
