D009132	Muscles	Contractile tissue that produces movement in animals.	Muscle Tissue,Muscle,Muscle Tissues,Tissue, Muscle,Tissues, Muscle
D010453	Peptide Synthases	Ligases that catalyze the joining of adjacent AMINO ACIDS by the formation of carbon-nitrogen bonds between their carboxylic acid groups and amine groups.	Peptide Synthetases,Acid-Amino-Acid Ligases,Acid Amino Acid Ligases,Ligases, Acid-Amino-Acid,Synthases, Peptide,Synthetases, Peptide
D010455	Peptides	Members of the class of compounds composed of AMINO ACIDS joined together by peptide bonds between adjacent amino acids into linear, branched or cyclical structures. OLIGOPEPTIDES are composed of approximately 2-12 amino acids. Polypeptides are composed of approximately 13 or more amino acids. PROTEINS are considered to be larger versions of peptides that can form into complex structures such as ENZYMES and RECEPTORS.	Peptide,Polypeptide,Polypeptides
D002336	Carnosine	A naturally occurring dipeptide neuropeptide found in muscles.	Carnosine Hydrochloride,Carnosine, (D-His)-Isomer,L-Carnosine,beta-Alanylhistidine,Hydrochloride, Carnosine,L Carnosine,beta Alanylhistidine
D004798	Enzymes	Biological molecules that possess catalytic activity. They may occur naturally or be synthetically created. Enzymes are usually proteins, however CATALYTIC RNA and CATALYTIC DNA molecules have also been identified.	Biocatalyst,Enzyme,Biocatalysts
D000861	Anserine	A dipeptide containing BETA-ALANINE.	Balanine,Beta-Alanyl-3-Methylhistidine,Ophidine,Beta Alanyl 3 Methylhistidine
