Leucine (symbol Leu or L) is an
essential amino acid that is used in the
biosynthesis of proteins.
Leucine is an α-amino acid,
meaning it
contains an α-amino...
- A
leucine zipper (or
leucine scissors) is a
common three-dimensional
structural motif in proteins. They were
first described by
Landschulz and collaborators...
- The
leucines are
primarily the four
isomeric amino acids:
leucine, isoleucine, tert-
leucine (terleucine, pseudoleucine) and norleucine.
Being compared...
- In enzymology, a
leucine dehydrogenase (EC 1.4.1.9) is an
enzyme that
catalyzes the
chemical reaction L-
leucine + H2O + NAD+ ⇌ {\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons...
- β-
Leucine (beta-
leucine) is a beta
amino acid and
positional isomer of L-
leucine which is
naturally produced in
humans via the
metabolism of L-
leucine by...
- In enzymology, a
leucine transaminase (EC 2.6.1.6) is an
enzyme that

Among the
proteinogenic amino acids,
there are
three BCAAs:
leucine, isoleucine, and valine. Non-proteinogenic
BCAAs include 2-aminoisobutyric...

leucine) is a
modified leucine amino acid used in the
treatment of
vertigo and
cerebellar ataxia. Two
forms exist: acetyl-DL-

Levacetylleucine is a
modified version of the
amino acid
leucine (N-Acetyl-L-
Leucine). It is
taken by mouth. The most
