  2. Alanine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alanine

    Alanine (symbol Ala or A), [4] or α-alanine, is an α-amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis of proteins. It contains an amine group and a carboxylic acid group, both attached to the central carbon atom which also carries a methyl group side chain. Consequently it is classified as a nonpolar, aliphatic α-amino acid.

  3. β-Alanine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Β-Alanine

    β-Alanine (beta-alanine) is a naturally occurring beta amino acid, which is an amino acid in which the amino group is attached to the β-carbon (i.e. the carbon two carbon atoms away from the carboxylate group) instead of the more usual α-carbon for alanine (α-alanine). The IUPAC name for β-alanine is 3-aminopropanoic acid.

  5. Phenylalanine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenylalanine

    Phenylalanine (symbol Phe or F) [3] is an essential α-amino acid with the formula C 9 H 11 NO 2. It can be viewed as a benzyl group substituted for the methyl group of alanine, or a phenyl group in place of a terminal hydrogen of alanine.

  6. Structural formula - Wikipedia

    Skeletal structural formula of Vitamin B 12.Many organic molecules are too complicated to be specified by a molecular formula.. The structural formula of a chemical compound is a graphic representation of the molecular structure (determined by structural chemistry methods), showing how the atoms are connected to one another.

  7. Peptide bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peptide_bond

    The amide bond is synthesized when the carboxyl group of one amino acid molecule reacts with the amino group of the other amino acid molecule, causing the release of a molecule of water (H 2 O), hence the process is a dehydration synthesis reaction. The dehydration condensation of two amino acids to form a peptide bond (red) with expulsion of ...

  8. Acetyl-CoA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetyl-CoA

    Acetyl-CoA (acetyl coenzyme A) is a molecule that participates in many biochemical reactions in protein, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. [2] Its main function is to deliver the acetyl group to the citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle) to be oxidized for energy production.

  9. Glycine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycine

    2 COO − + 3 CH 3 I → (CH 3) 3 N + CH 2 COO − + 3 HI. Glycine condenses with itself to give peptides, beginning with the formation of glycylglycine: [34] 2 H 3 N + CH 2 COO − → H 3 N + CH 2 CONHCH 2 COO − + H 2 O. Pyrolysis of glycine or glycylglycine gives 2,5-diketopiperazine, the cyclic diamide. [35] Glycine forms esters with ...
