Descriptions

L-Proline is one of the twenty proteinogenic units used in the building blocks of proteins. The other nineteen units are all primary amino acids, but due to the cyclic binding of the three-carbon side chain to the nitrogen of the backbone, proline lacks a primary amine group (ˆ'NH2). The nitrogen in proline is referred to as a secondary amine. Proline is sometimes called an amino acid, although the IUPAC definition of an amine requires a carbon-nitrogen double bond.

A non-essential amino acid synthesized from glutamic acid, proline is a key component of collagen and plays an important role in the function of joints and tendons. Source: National Library of Medicine, MeSH 2006

Proline is an amino acid that is the cyclized form of glutamic acid. The hydroxylation of proline increases the stability of collagen and is critical for maintaining connective tissue.
