Elongation factor P

EF-P (elongation factor P) is an essential protein that in bacteria stimulates the formation of the first peptide bonds in protein synthesis.

See 2-Aminoisobutyric acid and Elongation factor P

Expanded genetic code

An expanded genetic code is an artificially modified genetic code in which one or more specific codons have been re-allocated to encode an amino acid that is not among the 22 common naturally-encoded proteinogenic amino acids.

See 2-Aminoisobutyric acid and Expanded genetic code

Fungus

A fungus (fungi or funguses) is any member of the group of eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and molds, as well as the more familiar mushrooms.

Geminal

In chemistry, the descriptor geminal refers to the relationship between two atoms or functional groups that are attached to the same atom.

See 2-Aminoisobutyric acid and Geminal

Hydroamination

In organic chemistry, hydroamination is the addition of an bond of an amine across a carbon-carbon multiple bond of an alkene, alkyne, diene, or allene.

See 2-Aminoisobutyric acid and Hydroamination

Lantibiotics

Lantibiotics are a class of polycyclic peptide antibiotics that contain the characteristic thioether amino acids lanthionine or methyllanthionine, as well as the unsaturated amino acids dehydroalanine, and 2-aminoisobutyric acid.

See 2-Aminoisobutyric acid and Lantibiotics

Methacrylic acid

Methacrylic acid, abbreviated MAA, is an organic compound with the formula CH2.

See 2-Aminoisobutyric acid and Methacrylic acid

Methyl group

In organic chemistry, a methyl group is an alkyl derived from methane, containing one carbon atom bonded to three hydrogen atoms, having chemical formula (whereas normal methane has the formula). In formulas, the group is often abbreviated as Me.

See 2-Aminoisobutyric acid and Methyl group

Non-proteinogenic amino acids

In biochemistry, non-coded or non-proteinogenic amino acids are distinct from the 22 proteinogenic amino acids (21 in eukaryotesplus formylmethionine in eukaryotes with prokaryote organelles like mitochondria), which are naturally encoded in the genome of organisms for the assembly of proteins.

See 2-Aminoisobutyric acid and Non-proteinogenic amino acids

Peptide

Peptides are short chains of amino acids linked by peptide bonds.

See 2-Aminoisobutyric acid and Peptide

Proteinogenic amino acid

Proteinogenic amino acids are amino acids that are incorporated biosynthetically into proteins during translation.

See 2-Aminoisobutyric acid and Proteinogenic amino acid

Structural formula

The structural formula of a chemical compound is a graphic representation of the molecular structure (determined by structural chemistry methods), showing how the atoms are possibly arranged in the real three-dimensional space.

See 2-Aminoisobutyric acid and Structural formula

Thorpe–Ingold effect

The Thorpe–Ingold effect, gem-dimethyl effect, or angle compression is an effect observed in chemistry where increasing steric hindrance favours ring closure and intramolecular reactions.

See 2-Aminoisobutyric acid and Thorpe–Ingold effect

Valine—tRNA ligase

In enzymology, a valine—tRNA ligase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction The 3 substrates of this enzyme are ATP, L-valine, and tRNA(Val), whereas its 3 products are AMP, diphosphate, and L-valyl-tRNA(Val).

See 2-Aminoisobutyric acid and Valine—tRNA ligase

310 helix

A 310 helix is a type of secondary structure found in proteins and polypeptides.
