β-pyrrolidinyl-α-carboxylic acid and α-amino acids generally different, there is no free α-amino, it is a sub-α-amino acids, which can be seen as the side chain of α-amino acids replaced by its own amino on the formation of a hydrogen atom and the heterocyclic structure. One common amino acid composition of proteins.
English name:L- proline; Pro
Definition: Scientific name: pyrrolidone carboxylic acid. One kind of ring sub-amino acid composition of proteins in the common 20 amino acids in the only sub-amino acids. In the peptide chain has its special role, easy-to-cis-peptide bond formation, is not conducive to the formation of α-helix. Symbols: P.
Applied science: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (a subject); amino acids, peptides and proteins (two subjects)
