While amino acids are necessary for life, not all of them can be produced naturally in the body. Of the20 amino acids, 11 can be produced naturally. Thesenonessential amino acidsare alanine, arginine, asparagine, aspartate, cysteine, glutamate, glutamine, glycine, proline, serine, and tyrosine...
The Amino Acid Structure Chart and Reference Table Chart describes the biological properties and solubility of the 20 standard amino acids.

This has, for instance, been observed through characteristic changes in the spectra of the simple polypeptides polyalanine, (Ala)n, and polyglycine, (Gly)n52,56,57, when these polypeptides were prepared to feature different secondary structures. Silk proteins, in which Ala and Gly play important...
We have isolated and characterized the gene encoding a fourth yeast glycine-leucine-phenylalanine-glycine (GLFG) repeat nucleoporin with a calculated molecular mass of 145.3 kD, and therefore termed NUP145. The amino-terminal half of Nup145p is similar to two previously identified GLFG nucleoporin...
The most highly conserved regions in these homologous proteins are found in their C-terminal domains, such as the glycine-rich motif for SAM binding. Curiously, only one C-MT, geranyl diphosphate C-methyltransferase (GPPMT), is homologous to Ss-SibL structure while displaying a lower score (Z...

It is the purpose of this paper to report our investigations on one such case, sodium-octaglycine or G8-Na+. We used IRMPD spectroscopy to obtain fingerprints of the functional groups present in G8-Na+, and of their environments. This is carried out in two energy ranges, 1000–1900 and...
