Please consider your posting style, Freya. You both ridicule and shout at the other forum members - it is not the kind of behaviour we like to see.

have u heard of combination? permutation? and r amino acids question of organic or biochemistry?
and by the work of E.Fisher amino acids r the result of destiction of proteins in flora and fauna; they have COOH and amino group so can COMBINE! and on an on so u have polipeptids...
what they may found is maybe strange combination, but it is organic... remember what i said earlier IF U DONT KNOW OTHER LIVING ( read organic) FORMS IT DOESNT MEAN THEY DONT EXSIST

Emil Fisher died in 1919.

There are about 20 protein amino acids (including hydroxyproline that is modfied post-transcription). All protein amino acids are L-alpha-amino acids (except for glycine, of course, that is achiral). A D-alpha-amino acid would not be a protein amino acid (except for some fungal toxins). An amino acid without its amino group alpha to its carboxyl would not be a protein amino acid, and there are an unlimited number of those.

Before you talk, have something valid to say.
