Biosynthesis of the twenty-second amino acid
Pyrrolysine, the latest addition to the ranks of the genetically encoded amino acids, is found in methanogenic archaea and bacteria, in which it is a necessary component of the enzymes involved in the formation of methane from methylamines. Its biosynthetic pathway remains poorly characterized. Joseph...
