Can we perhaps have more about the biological functions and reactions of Valine? I know that it has a role as a component of protein, but it has functions besides this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.67.119.242 (talk) 11:25, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

SMILES

The current SMILES is:

CC(C)C(N)COO

but shouldn't it be

CC(C)C(N)C(=O)O

? I'm going to go ahad and change it but revert if I'm mistaken. Cburnett 05:27, 19 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why do they put it in cigarettes?

"Its use or purpose, however, is unknown, like most cigarette additives."

I don't think that's true; I think they use it for a well-known reason. Anyone know what it is? —Keenan Pepper 18:52, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Correction

I removed the part that said "and is coded for in DNA" because it makes no sense. DNA encodes genes, which direct protein synthesis. DNA does not direct the synthesis of small molecules such as valine.

I am removing the part that claime beef is a good source of Valine. As far as I know from literature on protein beef is not a signifiacant source of Valine, making it an incomplete protein as Valine is an essential amino acid. --AspencerB 18:06, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please, could you tell me why the name valine derives from valerian ?

I read that valine was discovered in 1901 by Emil Fischer from casein. I don't see the relationship.

named after the plant valerian.

The article contains this single sentence: "It is named after the plant valerian." Any idea WHY it is named after the valerian plant? --98.70.142.237 (talk) 20:29, 25 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
