It is named after the plant valerian. In sickle-cell disease, valine substitutes for the hydrophilic amino acid glutamic acid in hemoglobin.

It is encoded in the standard genetic code as the codon UGG. Only the L-stereoisomer of tryptophan is used in structural or enzyme proteins.

The threonine residue is susceptible to numerous posttranslational modifications. The hydroxy side-chain can undergo O-linked glycosylation.

L-Phenylalanine is biologically converted into L-tyrosine, another one of the DNA-encoded amino acids.

This essential amino acid is classified as nonpolar. This amino-acid is coded by the codon AUG, also known as the initiation codon.

Lysine is a base, as are arginine and histidine. The -amino group often participates in hydrogen bonding and as a general base in catalysis.

Leucine is an essential amino acid, meaning that the human body cannot synthesize it, and it therefore must be ingested.
