Proline (abbreviated as Pro or P) is an amino acid, one of the twenty DNA-encoded amino acids. Its codons are CCU, CCC, CCA, and CCG.
It is not an essential amino acid, which means that the human body can synthesize it. It is unique among the 20 protein-forming amino acids in that the amine nitrogen is bound to not one but two alkyl groups, thus making it a secondary amine. The more common L form has S stereochemistry.
