Proline Memes

The structural rebel of the protein world has been spotted! While most amino acids follow the standard template with their basic amine group, proline said "nah, I'm gonna be different" and formed a ring structure. It's the biochemical equivalent of that one friend who refuses to follow the dress code at formal events. Proline literally bends protein chains into submission, creating kinks that other amino acids could only dream of. The molecular bad boy that makes biochemists simultaneously curse and marvel at nature's creativity.
