Proteinogenic |
|
|
ProteinogenicProteinogenic amino acids are those 20 amino acids that are found in proteins and that are coded for in the standard genetic code. Proteinogenic literally means protein building. Non-proteinogenic amino acids are either not found in proteins (like carnitine, GABA, or L-DOPA), or not coded for in the standard genetic code (like hydroxyproline). The latter often result from posttranslational modification of proteins. |
