L THREONINE FOR BIOCHEMISTRY
L-threonine is an optically active form of threonine having L-configuration. ... It is an aspartate family amino acid, a proteinogenic amino acid, a threonine and a L-alpha-amino acid. It is a conjugate base of a L-threoninium.
Note
Threonine (symbol Thr or T)[2] is an amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis of proteins. It contains an α-amino group (which is in the protonated −NH+
3 form under biological conditions), a carboxyl group (which is in the deprotonated −COO− form under biological conditions), and a side chain containing a hydroxyl group, making it a polar, uncharged amino acid
Threonine, an essential amino acid, is a hydrophilic molecule. Threonine is an other hydroxyl-containing amino acid. It differs from serine by having a methyl substituent in place of one of the hydrogens on the β carbon and it differs from valine by replacement of a methyl substituent with a hydroxyl group.
