Definition

chemical moiety that is a proper part of a peptide or protein and that is the remaining portion of an amino acid resulting from peptide-bond formation

Explanatory Notes

During peptide-bond formation, each amino acid loses the atoms corresponding to one molecule of water. The remaining portion constitutes the amino-acid residue within the polypeptide chain.

Examples

  • Alanine residue in a peptide; Glycine residue in a synthetic peptide; Lysine residue in a monoclonal antibody heavy chain; Cysteine residue participating in a disulfide bond in a protein; Serine residue in a phosphorylated protein.

Primitive Class

This class is declared primitive and it does not have necessary and sufficient condiftions defined.

Primitive Rationale

This term is expected to remain primitive as the detailed treatment of chemical bonds, structure and formation is outside of the current scope of IOF. Other biological and chemical ontologies should be used for these purposes
