3+] can suppress vascular NO production in endothelial cells. Abnormal vessels can cause obstruction by either encircling the trachea and esophagus (complete vascular ring) or compressing the anterior wall of the trachea alone.
Î±-Amino acid (alpha-amino acid): A molecule containing an amino group and a carboxylic acid group that are separated by one carbon, called the Î±-carbon. In biochemistry there are twenty standard amino acids which differ in the makeup of the side chain (R group) attached to the Î±-carbon.-Amino acid (alpha-amino acid): A molecule containing an amino group and a carboxylic acid group that are separated by one carbon, called the Î±-carbon.

Amino acids are molecules containing an amine group(NH 3), a carboxylic acid group(R-C=O-OH) and a side-chain(usually denoted as R) that varies between different amino acids.The key elements of an amino acid are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen.he amino acids in an Î± helix are arranged in a right-handed helical structure where each amino acid residue corresponds to a 100Â° turn in the helix (i.e., the helix has 3.6 residues per turn), and a translation of 1.5 A (Ã¥.0 15) nm along the helical. axis
