D002268 Carboxypeptidases Enzymes that act at a free C-terminus of a polypeptide to liberate a single amino acid residue. Carboxypeptidase
D004590 Electrophoresis, Paper Electrophoresis in which paper is used as the diffusion medium. This technique is confined almost entirely to separations of small molecules such as amino acids, peptides, and nucleotides, and relatively high voltages are nearly always used. Paper Electrophoresis
D000409 Alanine A non-essential amino acid that occurs in high levels in its free state in plasma. It is produced from pyruvate by transamination. It is involved in sugar and acid metabolism, increases IMMUNITY, and provides energy for muscle tissue, BRAIN, and the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM.
