Alanine

Beta-Alanine (aka Protein Supplement) The support of high caliber researchers speak highly of it and it is very impressive. Much of beta-alanine’s effects are made by enlarging the creation of // carnosine //, a dipeptide (two amino acids) intracellular (inside the cell) buffer. To understand how beta-alanine works, you must first understand its connection to carnosine. It is by boosting carnosine levels that beta-alanine exerts its performance benefits.

Alanine(also abbreviated as Ala or A) is an amino acid ( CH 3 CH(NH 2 )COOH) it's one of 20 essential amino acids that the body uses and is classified as a non-polar amino acid. Alanine occurs mostly in bacterial cell walls and in some peptide antibiotics.

It has been linked to both hypertension and type II diabetes.

it helps with muscle building and used amongst bodybuilders and wrestlers to form more muscle. It is also a big health risk in the long run and ruins the body.

Structure
The carbon atom of alanine is bound with a methyl group (-CH 3 ), making it one of the simplest amino acids with respect to molecular structure. That's also resulting in alanine's being classified as an aliphatic amino acid. The methyl group of alanine is non-reactive and is almost NEVER directly involved in protein function.

Alanine has two structural isomers, which are alpha-alanine and beta-alanine. Alpha-alanine is got sublimated under 200 C temperature. Depending on the heating level, alpha-alanine will be decomposed under temperatures between 264 C to 296 C.

Alanine is classified as a nonpolar amino acid. L-alanine is second only to [|leucine], accounting for 7.8 percent of the primary structure in a sample of 1,150 proteins (Doolittle 1989). Davidson (2007) reports that it averages about nine percent of average protein composition on a per mole basis. Alanine is also involved in the metabolism of [|tryptophan] and the vitamin [|pyridoxine]. Alanine's unique structure makes it one of the principal components of [|silk], along with [|glycine] , providing the unique characteristics of this natural protein [|fiber]. [|Spider] silk is so strong that it has been said that a circular web, similar in all ways to that found in nature but the size of a [|football] field, could stop a commercial jetliner in mid-flight (Henke 2007), and yet it is so light that a single strand long enough to circle the earth would weigh less than 16 ounces (460 grams). The particular arrangement of the amino acids reveals the complex coordination in nature, a harmony that has existed for millions of years and which scientists now are studying in hope of learning how to create such a strong and yet elastic fiber.
 * Alanine** is an one of the simplest [|amino acids] in terms of molecular structure and one of the most widely found in [|protein] . In [|humans], the L-isomer, which is the only form that is involved in protein synthesis, is one of the 20 [|standard amino acids] required for normal functioning. However, it is considered to be [|non-essential] since it does not have to be taken in with the diet, but can be synthesized by the human body from other compounds through chemical reactions. It has the [|chemical formula] HO2CCH(NH2)CH3.
