Study Notes

Amino Acid Metabolism

  • Ornithine plays a crucial role in amino acid metabolism, particularly in the urea cycle.

Peptide Antibiotics

  • Gramicidin is an example of a peptide antibiotic produced by Bacillus brevis.

Post-Translational Modification of Proteins

  • Hydrolysis is not a post-translational modification of proteins.

Signaling Molecules
