What is your favorite amino acid?

[Cresselia~~]

Wha??

Oh well, maybe glutamate.
Mono sodium glutamate just makes everything tastes nicer.

 

[Nails]

You spelled asinine wrong

How could you do this to me

no i meant the amino acid asanine. look it up.

 

[Stallion]

Leucine for bodybuilding purposes.

Fuck this is like the least nerdy answer to a nerdy question, please don't hurt me for being different guys :-(

You have to be able to picture the 3-dimensional structure. The carboxyl group is coplanar with the nitrogen in the amino group. The hydrogens on the nitrogen can be rotated into a position where they mirror eachother across the central axis. This creates a central plane of symmetry across the molecule, running from the nitrogen through the alpha carbon to the carboxyl.

I'm not gonna lie, but I don't know shit about most of them but I'm going with my boy, Arginine. Helps with the "pump" and has many possible uses

I'm really bored right now, so here are some (god-awful) amino acid jokes.

What is a pirate's favorite amino acid?
arrrrrginine

What is a snake's favorite amino acid?
hissstidine

What is an amino acid's favorite time of day?
3:09 (threonine)

What is Sir Mix-A-Lot's favorite amino acid?
Glutamine

What is the sluttiest amino acid?
Isoleucine

If Togekiss were a protein, what ability would it have?
Serine Grace

What would Michelangelo have painted if he had been a biochemist?
The Cysteine Chapel

I'll be here all night, peeps (but not really)

 

[Minwu]

it's amino world without chemistry xD

 

[BlackyXD]

Tryptophan because it sounds I like the way it sounds( I know what it does just think it sounds cool)

Histidine is often where the action is... its neutral pKa of its imidazole group allow it to be a proton donor or acceptor in reactions. It directly participates in acid base catalysis. It can activate a nucleophile through deprotonation.

The holy trinity: Serine, Histidine, and Asparate.

It enables triose phosphate isomerase to achieve kinetic perfection.

Fuck Fire Grass Water and SkarmBliss. I love that core instead!!

Glycine is just some NU crap like Unown with its hydrogen as an R group.

 

[Coronis]

Phenylalanine, how could it be anything else?

 

[Calm_Mind_Latias]

Phenylalanine, how could it be anything else?

Phenylalanine hydroylase...

 

[Jimbo]

i ask so many of my friends this and am genuinely perplexed when they don't have one.

my favorite is Lysine, K?
(ha)
it's super positive and long

 

[Folex]

Obviously Isoleucine everyone knows its way better than the others.

 

[Calm_Mind_Latias]

Obviously Isoleucine everyone knows its way better than the others.

It also has the niche of possessing two chiral centers.

 

[Krubby]

Asparagine because ASPARAGUS YO.

Tryptophan cuz its tryptofun
