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.

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.

Aminopropionic acid (C3H7NO2, molar mass 89.093 g/mol) may refer to: 2-Aminopropionic acid, or alanine; 3-Aminopropionic acid, or β-alanine
Propionic acid (/ p r oʊ p i ˈ ɒ n ɪ k /, from the Greek words πρῶτος : prōtos, meaning "first", and πίων : píōn, meaning "fat"; also known as propanoic acid) is a naturally occurring carboxylic acid with chemical formula CH 3 CH 2 CO 2 H. It is a liquid with a pungent and unpleasant smell somewhat resembling body odor. The ...
2,3-Diaminopropionic acid (2,3-diaminopropionate, Dpr) [1] is a non-proteinogenic amino acid found in certain secondary metabolites, including zwittermicin A [2] and tuberactinomycin. [ 3 ] Biosynthesis
[2] [3] In cultured non-nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria, BMAA production increases in a nitrogen-depleted medium. [4] The biosynthetic pathway in cyanobacteria is unknown, but involvement of BMAA and its structural analog 2,4-diaminobutanoic acid (2,4-DAB) in environmental iron scavenging has been hypothesized.
