  2. Lysine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysine

    Lysine ball and stick model spinning. Lysine (symbol Lys or K) [2] is an α-amino acid that is a precursor to many proteins.Lysine contains an α-amino group (which is in the protonated −NH + 3 form when the lysine is dissolved in water at physiological pH), an α-carboxylic acid group (which is in the deprotonated −COO − form when the lysine is dissolved in water at physiological pH ...

  4. Polylysine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polylysine

    This phenomenon is based on the interaction between the positively charged polymer and negatively charged cells or proteins. While the poly-L-lysine (PLL) precursor amino acid occurs naturally, the poly-D-lysine (PDL) precursor is an artificial product. The latter is therefore thought to be resistant to enzymatic degradation and so may prolong ...

  5. Lysin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysin

    Double-stranded DNA phage lysins tend to lie within the 25 to 40 kDa range in terms of size. A notable exception is the streptococcal PlyC endolysin, which is 114 kDa. PlyC is not only the biggest and most potent lysin, but also structurally unique since it is composed of two different gene products, PlyCA and PlyCB, with a ratio of eight PlyCB subunits for each PlyCA in its active conformation.

  6. Acetyllysine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetyllysine

    Acetyllysine (or acetylated lysine) is an acetyl-derivative of the amino acid lysine. There are multiple forms of acetyllysine: this article is about N-ε-acetyl-L-lysine; another form is N-α-acetyl-L-lysine. In proteins, the acetylation of lysine residues is an important mechanism of epigenetics.

  7. β-Lysine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Β-lysine

    β-Lysine (3,6-diaminohexanoic acid [1]) is an amino acid produced by platelets during coagulation and is directly antibacterial by causing lysis of many Gram positive bacteria by acting as a cationic detergent.

  8. Hydroxylysine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroxylysine

    Hydroxylysine (Hyl) is an amino acid with the molecular formula C 6 H 14 N 2 O 3. It was first discovered in 1921 by Donald Van Slyke as the 5-hydroxylysine form. [1] It arises from a post-translational hydroxy modification of lysine. It is most widely known as a component of collagen. [2] It is biosynthesized from lysine via oxidation by lysyl ...

  9. Pyrrolysine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrrolysine

    Pyrrolysine ball and stick model spinning. Pyrrolysine (symbol Pyl or O; [2] encoded by the 'amber' stop codon UAG) is an α-amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis of proteins in some methanogenic archaea and bacteria; [3] [4] it is not present in humans.
