Proline [PDF ebook] 
Biosynthesis, Regulation and Health Benefits

Proline might be the most studied amino acid in nature. Many authors have reviewed its many functions in cell homeostasis. Not only it is essential in primary metabolism, but it is also involved in cell defense response to a variety of stresses. This book presents topical research data in the study of proline functions, including role of proline in plant subject to salinity, proline cycle and its role in secondary metabolite accumulation, role of proline in catalyzing the asymmetric reaction, studies of polyproline peptides, structural characteristics and transition mechanisms of proline-rich peptides, functions of proline in behavior of neonatal chicks and tumor suppressor
