New Amino Acids Discovered!

New Amino Acids Discovered!

Biochemistry humor at its finest! This meme plays with the names of real amino acids by creating ridiculous fake ones. We've got "Positrine" (a play on positive charge), "Phenylalalalalalanine" (just keep saying 'ala' until you run out of breath), "Glycine Lite™" (for when you're on a molecular diet), "Isoisoleucine" (because regular isoleucine wasn't iso enough), "Oops-All-Nitrogen-ine" (that unstable molecule looks ready to explode), and "Sistine" (featuring Michelangelo's Creation of Adam). Protein biochemists are quietly dying of laughter while everyone else wonders why they're giggling at chemical structures!
