Pyroglutamic acid. Top: formation of pyroglutamic acid involves the cyclization of an N-terminal glutamine or glutamic acid. Bottom: pyroglutamic acid (PDB entry 8ojt; Davies et al., 2023; CCD code PCA). The first three N-terminal residues are shown. Positive omit density is shown in green at 3σ for the modified residue. The rest of the protein chain is represented by a yellow ribbon model. |
