Alanine alanine A collection of compounds and a spec of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVibZJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">AminoAcid</a>. These compounds are essential for protein synthesis and are synthesized by the body from pyruvate. Its abbreviations are Ala and A. Alanine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alanine AA AminoAcid A collection of organic compounds that are the building blocks for <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rv0ARKpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ProteinMolecule</a>s. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVibZJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">AminoAcid</a>s contain an amino (-NH2) and a carboxyl (-COOH) group. One way to partition this collection is according to the side chains: acidic, basic, uncharged polar, and nonpolar. Another collection division is that of amino acids required for protein synthesis and not synthesized by humans, essential amino acids, and those amino acids required for protein synthesis but are synthesized by humans, non-essential amino acids. type of nonessential amino acid A collection of collections. An instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVyGnJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">NonessentialAminoAcidType</a> is a collection of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVibZJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">AminoAcid</a>s that is synthesized by the human body and is not specifically required in the diet.
