Parent topics
- Protein [r]: A polymer of amino acids; basic building block of living systems. [e]
- Amino acid [r]: Biochemical with an amino group, a carboxyl group, a hydrogen atom, and a side chain bonded to a central carbon. [e]
- Polymer [r]: A compound of high molecular weight derived either by the addition of many smaller, similar molecules (monomers), or by the condensation of many smaller, similar molecules eliminating water, alcohol, etc. [e]
Subtopics
- Eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome [r]: A complex systemic syndrome with inflammatory and autoimmune components that affect the skin, fascia, muscle, nerve, blood vessels, lung, and heart. Diagnostic features generally include eosinophilia, myalgia severe enough to limit usual activities of daily living, and the absence of coexisting infectious, autoimmune or other conditions that may induce eosinophilia. [e]
The 20 common amino acids
- Alanine [r]: The second smallest of the twenty common amino acids used by living organisms to build proteins. [e]
- Cysteine [r]: One of the twenty common amino acids and one of two that contains a sulphur atom. [e]
- Aspartic acid [r]: One of the common amino acids incorporated into proteins. It is charged, polar, and hydrophilic. [e]
- Glutamic acid [r]: One of the 20 common amino acids and one of two acidic amino acids. [e]
- Phenylalanine [r]: An aromatic amino acid incorporated into proteins. [e]
- Glycine [r]: The smallest of the twenty common amino acids used by living organisms to build proteins. [e]
- Histine [r]: One of the common amino acids used in protein synthesis. [e]
- Lysine [r]: A positively charged amino acid used by living systems to build proteins. [e]
- Isoleucine [r]: One of the twenty common amino acids used by living organisms to build proteins. [e]
- Leucine [r]: An aliphatic, non-polar, hydrophobic amino acids incorporated into proteins. [e]
- Methionine [r]: One of two common amino acids used in proteins that contain a sulphur atom. [e]
- Asparagine [r]: One of the twenty common amino acids used by living organisms to build proteins. It is neutral but polar. [e]
- Proline [r]: A cyclic, non-polar amino acid used in proteins. [e]
- Glutamine [r]: A polar, neutral amino acid, the amide version of glutamic acid. [e]
- Arginine [r]: A positively charged common amino acid, incorporated into proteins. [e]
- Serine [r]: One of three hydroxylated amino acids used in protein synthesis; subject to phosphorylation. [e]
- Threonine [r]: One of three hydroxylated amino acids in proteins; it may be phosphorylated [e]
- Valine [r]: One of the twenty common amino acids used by living organisms to build proteins. It is aliphatic and non-polar. [e]
- Tryptophan [r]: One of four common aromatic amino acids in proteins. [e]
- Tyrosine [r]: One of four common aromatic amino acids use in protein synthesis; it may be phosphorylated. [e]
