| rdfs:comment | - Leucine is an essential branched chain amino acid. Leucine is important for protein synthesis and many metabolic functions; it contributes to regulation of blood-sugar levels, growth and repair of muscle and bone tissue and growth hormone production. Leucine also prevents breakdown of muscle proteins after trauma or severe stress and may be beneficial for individuals with phenylketonuria.
- Leucine has a tendency to form part of a helix, as part of the "MALEK" group of amino acids. In the Foldit Lua interface, the functions structure.GetAminoAcid and structure.SetAminoAcid use lowercase "l" for leucine. For more, see Leucine on wikipedia.
