The proline is one of the 20 amino-acid of the genetic Code. Its abbreviations are Pro and P. Within human proteins, its frequency is of 5,2%.

The L proline is one of the twenty amino-acids of which the living organisms are useful themselves to assemble proteins. One speaks amino-acids thus proteinogenes . The proline can act by breaking the propellers α because it cannot form hydrogen bond (because of its secondary amine) and thus destabilizes the propeller alpha, or form a junction in the layers β. The presence of many prolines can be at the origin of a propeller with proline (it is in particular the case of collagen). The proline has a cyclic grouping secondary amine and not imine as indicates it certain works the grouping imine is characterized by a double connection carbon/nitrogenizes it is not the case here.

Data

  • Force of van der Waals: 90
  • pK1 (α-COOH): 1.95
  • pK2 (αN-H): 10.64

Proline, or Pro or, is a nonpolar amino-acid characterized by a cycle pyrolidine. It should be noted that the proline contains in its molecule a cyclic function secondary amine

Another amino-acid Hydroxyproline derives from the proline by Hydroxylation into 4.
