pramlintide

These are published properties of the molecule, given for identification. Values we cannot confirm are omitted rather than estimated. What these terms mean.

What this compound is

Thirty-seven residues with cysteines at two and seven joined by a disulfide, closing a small ring at the N-terminal end while the rest of the chain runs free. Three prolines distinguish it from human amylin.

The one-letter code gives the amino-acid backbone. Terminal modifications, where a compound carries them, are accounted for in the molecular weight above but are not visible in the letters.

Residue composition

Counted directly from the sequence above. Pramlintide is built from 16 of the twenty standard amino acids across 37 positions.
