Alanine description |
---|
Alanine (symbol Ala or A) is an -amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis of proteins. It contains an -amino group (which is in the protonated form, NH3+, under biological conditions), an -carboxylic acid group (which is in the deprotonated form, COO, under biological conditions), and a side chain methyl group, making it a nonpolar, aliphatic amino acid. It is non-essential in humans: because the body can synthesize it, it does not need to be present in the diet. It is encoded by all codons starting with GC (GCU, GCC, GCA, and GCG). * The L-isomer of alanine (left-handed) is the one that is incorporated into proteins. L-Alanine is second only to leucine in rate of occurrence, accounting for 7.8% of the primary structure in a sample of 1,150 proteins. The right-handed form, D-Alanine occurs in polypeptides in some bacterial cell wallsp. 131 and in some peptide antibiotics, and occurs in the tissues of many crustaceans and molluscs as an osmolyte. |
