1. Serinenoun

   one of the natural L-amino acids, obtainable as a white crystalline nitrogenous substance by the action of dilute sulphuric acid on silk gelatin. It is found in many proteins, and, having a free primary hydroxyl group on the side chain, is involved in the catalytic action at the active site of some enzymes, such as proteases. The IUPAC abbreviation for serine in protein sequences is Ser. Chemically it is 2-amino-3-hydroxy-propanoic acid (C3H7NO3), HO.CH2.CH(NH2).COOH.

1. Serine

   Serine (symbol Ser or S) is an α-amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis of proteins. It contains an α-amino group (which is in the protonated −NH+3 form under biological conditions), a carboxyl group (which is in the deprotonated −COO− form under biological conditions), and a side chain consisting of a hydroxymethyl group, classifying it as a polar amino acid. It can be synthesized in the human body under normal physiological circumstances, making it a nonessential amino acid. It is encoded by the codons UCU, UCC, UCA, UCG, AGU and AGC.

1. serine

   Serine is a non-essential amino acid derived from glycine that is involved in the biosynthesis of proteins. It contains an alpha amino group, a carboxyl group, and a side chain composed of a hydroxymethyl group, making it one of the polar amino acids. Being non-essential means the body can produce it on its own, hence it's not essential to obtain it through diet. Serine plays a critical role in various physiological processes including the functioning of the brain and nervous system.

1. Serine

   Serine is an amino acid with the formula HO2CCHCH2OH. It is one of the proteinogenic amino acids. Its codons in the genetic code are UCU, UCC, UCA, UCG, AGU and AGC. By virtue of the hydroxyl group, serine is classified as a polar amino acid.
